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.

SD, make sure you include possible decking damage in your insurance claim. We had similar storm a few years ago in Cheyenne, WY. Roof looked good except for vent covers, lights, etc. After the dealer inspected, all slides and main roof needed redecking and new membrane. Slides seem to be the biggest issue, all inside trim needs to come off to install new membranes which wrap inside. $11,000 later, all good to go, with a new 1/8 decking over the top of the old "holy" one, new membrane, and new seals around all roof penetrations.
