Well, we finally managed to haul the rig up to our seasonal site today, set up and returned home. The owner, who usually helps us back it in, was tied up cleaning the CG and didn't see us come in. Being the "big cahuna," (aka. dumb-arse) I figured I could do it myself, with the wife keeping an eye on the rear. Should of put her in front of the truck. As I was maneuvering around, trying to get aligned with the trees, I lost sight of the ones on the right side and swung the side of the rig into one of them. Not hard, but enough to make the main awning FUBAR'd by bending the roller and tearing up the fabric. Doesn't look like any structural damage to the wall, other than a small dent in the rain gutter. Finally got the rig where I wanted it and called my insurance company, Foremost. Got a claim number, a preliminary settlement amount and instructions to get it direct deposited to our account. Agent said if the actual repairs cost more to send the quote from the repair facility (local RV dealer with mobile techs) and they would adjust it, if it wasn't crazy. If less, the extra cash is mine. Gotta say, the amount seems pretty generous, albeit it's for replacing an 18 foot electric awning. And surprised and pleased with how fast they handled things. Filled out the online form to get the funds transferred for me to pay the repairs, when they are done. The RV dealer will be sending someone out tomorrow to take a look. I was able to give them the awning codes over the phone.
Even prolifically gabby knuckleheads like me can screw the pooch on occasion.
