Who was your insurance carrier?

Glad you could get things hooked up for water and sewer. Know it is a pain, bot glad you guys were not hurt.
The insurance company is National Interstate Insurance Co. through Explorer Insurance Agency. At this time it is too early to judge the treatment overall. So far, starting a claim has been easy and no problems
Yes, my estimate is about the same.
I can fix most anything, but this is more than I can handle. I have a RV body shop that will fix it like new.
I towed the Landmark to the Trailer Alignment shop for evaluation of the front left Mor-Ryde IS unit being out of alignment from the collision. They determined the proper way to fix it is to replace the whole front left Mor-Ryde IS unit. Also the frame near the front left Mor-Ryde IS was bent 1/8” from being true and straight. The IS part is built for each order and will take about 5 to 7 days to be delivered. Hopefully the part will ordered tomorrow. Then the shop will need to schedule the replacement and repair which will take 2 days. So it appears we will be here in Memphis for about 10 to 14 days.

Have they checked the frame around your level up leg?

The Memphis zoo is really good. We've gone to ones in many cities and this one is much better than most in our opinion. Every one on the list is worthwhile seeing (can't speak to Bass Pro in the pyramid since it opened since the last time we were in Memphis).
If you're a Blues music lover Beale Street is a little slice of heaven!Below is my things to do in Memphis with checks by what we've done. Some of them are from you

Thanks you everyone for the things to do and the places to eat ideas.
The level up leg is in front of wheel assembly and the bracket welded to the frame was crushed. I am hopeful the crushed bracket took all the impact and that it did not bend the frame in that area. I will have them check that area to make sure it is not bent.
Friday I ordered a wheel and tire to be shipped to the Frame and Alignment Shop, so I will have a spare for the trip home. I also sent the measurements for the IS Assembly to Mor-Ryde. On Saturday I rearranged the cargo bay in order to have easier access to the electrical cords and water hoses since the ODS cargo door is jammed in the closed position.

WOW is all I can say!
AND so glad you and Carol were not injured. White knuckle I guess.
We just completed our first ever trip (1350 miles) towing a 5th wheel with our "new" 2011 Greystone 32RL. As snowbirds, from NY state back home to FLA. Saw some weird driving on I79, I77 and of course I95 from SC to Orlando.
But we were lucky. Only close call was a car carrier semi (loaded) passed us, a mile or so later came into our lane, slowed and went to the shoulder....all with no lights, signals etc. on his trailer, nor warning to us. Was able to control things, but hello!
Hope you have good luck with repairs and in 4 or 5 years, laugh about the situation.
Be safe!

Just saw this thread. SOOO sorry to hear of your accident but glad to know that you and Carol were not physically injured.
Positive thoughts for speedy, quality repairs are with you.
Enjoy seeing the sights and hearing the sounds of Memphis to pass the time while repairs are being taken care of for you!

You waited a while to get those parts. I'm guessing they had to make them.
