Update shows that a fairly large tree limb pierced the roof and through the ceiling. It is sticking into the trailer about 4 feet. Missed the AC unit, however the cover for that up top is broken. Hopefully that still works. I am afraid now that a 2007 unit will be a total loss. I could buy it back after I pay it off but for how much will determine if I want to do that at all. I have someone interested in buying it to just house guests on his property. I owe a little over 17K so I hope there is enough in there to use as a down for a smaller trailer.

That sux and I am sorry to hear that. And it's not only the damage you can see it's really what you can't see that starts adding up. And if any moisture gets in the damage gets worse. It doesn't take much to total an RV. Hopefully you come out with nothing out of pocket.

you don't want to buy it back unless you are capable of replacing an entire roof and possibly a wall by yourself, it will cost you way more to do it than it is worth. best bet is hope for a total write off and buy a new one.

Only way I buy it back is if I have it sold to someone else to live in it. I think it has seen its last trailering days

Now that I removed the tree from top of the trailer, I can tell you that NU Wa built a solid trailer. I have two holes that went through the ceiling, and some cabinet damage. The cabinet over the kitchen sink is uneven and didn't suffer any issues other than that. The ceiling has that carpet material trough out the unit. The main AC cover is ruined up top but probably functional. The fantastic fan cover was smashed. The rubber roof has tears and gouges. So what I want to know from someone that maybe has gone through this, is how much does it cost to repair all this. Just some idea would be nice.

Some pictures of the damage would help with guestaments of repair cost. The fabric interior cover will make the interior fix easier.

How would the fabric interior cover make the fix easier? The whole entire coach would need replacing to match, not to mention how it gets affixed to ceiling. Must be glued I suspect. I know pictures would help but it's been difficult for me to load them onto this site before. But, picture a tree limb right through and sticking into your living room. The other hole was just as big but no limb inside. Sagging cabinet, and smashed AC unit up top. Surprisingly no damage to the edge of the roof where tree was resting. Also big tears in rubber roof.
