Please tell me I'm not the first one here to run into something with their RV and do damage to it.
After 3 years weekend RV'ing, I had my first "Oops".
I clipped the side of a young tree (about 6" diameter tree) on the right side as I was pulling out of the campsite and trying to make a sharp turn.
I also ran over some very large rocks bordering the campsite with the trailer tires on the left side trying to make that sharp turn. I have Sailun tires. I hope they didn't get damaged. I had a 2-hour drive back to the RV storage lot. The TPMS did not show any loss of tire air pressure.
Damage done from the tree:
- Scuffed the edge of the nose-cone about 4-feet long
- Four 1"-2" rips in the edge of the rubber roof
- Bent the awning arm or popped it off track, can't tell
- My pride, of being RV accident-free for 3 years since I bought it
I figured I could:
- Clean and buff out the scuffs on the nose-cone
- Cover the rips in the roof with Eternabond tape
- I hope I can bend the awning back. It looks like it popped off the guide but I'm not sure
Any suggestions or recommendations for this repair, besides "Scott, you are a menace to the RV world, just sell it and buy a boat"?
