Anything plastic on the roof was demolished, both skylights destroyed so water coming in. Patched the best I could from the inside while it was still raining heavily then got up on the roof when it settled down to survey the dam age. OUCH not to mention hail damage to the truck. Good news no one was hurt and everything can be fixed, insurance claims already submitted. Almost every camper here has some type of damage with some being way worse than ours. All part of the full timing adventure and being at the mercy of the
weather.
We are camped outside of Robertsdale AL, the local news showed numerous cars parked in Orange Beach that had the windows broken out from that hail storm. Hope everything works out good for your repairs. Two years ago while out in the black hills we got caught in a large hail storm that did $18,000 in damage to a new vehicle we had, so we feel your pain.
