All.
Looking for some feedback here. I put the word Accident in Quotes because the issue here is a lack of maintenance on low limbs over a public way. I got home from my weekend Camping and the entrance that I normally would take into my neighborhood was blocked by cars on both sides of the street making it impossible to go that way. So I went to the second entrance for my neighborhood and proceeded to go around the block to access my street from the correct side to allow for backing in to my RV Pad.
I got about 1/3 of the way down one of the side streets when I heard limbs breaking. NOT A good Sound. But there was no going back so I assessed the number and thickness of the remaining limbs and determined that the damage and the worse of it was passed. My AC unit is Trashed at this point and as long as there was going to be no additional damage especially to the ROOF I proceeded slowly.
Well it occurred to me after the fact - I always thought that tree limbs needed to be at least 15 ft above the road or the Road needed to be sighed as low clearance. I will be calling my ins. co tomorrow, but I think the Town may be at fault here for lack of proper tree maintenance. I'm posting the photos of the damage.
Damage to the ODS of the AC Shroud.
fan and coil damage
