Yeah I was shocked as well because the shop quoted me 15K in parts and labor (before taking the bathroom apart) which is not even 50% of MSRP so idk why they decided to go with total.
Liability, and probably the guy had limits that would cover the total.
Even though it doesn't look like a crazy amount of damage there's always more that isn't visible. You're probably better off this way. Last thing you want is a water leak or something while out it the middle of nowhere.
Not surprising. These things are little more than poorly assembled wood boxes, I guarantee there's much MUCH more structural damage than can be seen here.
Grand Design makes some nice TT. We just started an insurance claim on our TT, somehow we flooded our camper by letting the outside sink run for hours while camping.
They aren't even wood. Its like wood veneer inside and fiberglass shell for the outer skin. The rest is styrofoam, all the walls everything. The subframe is steel. The doorways and wall joists are steel. That's it. The inside walls are like compressed cardboard with a applique over them to simulate wood or whatever like wallpaper. Even the ceiling is styrofoam with a veneer and covered in carpet or whatever. That's the only way you can make them lightweight.
Yeah that's what I was thinking too.
Oh no! hopefully it's not too messed up.
Ouch! my brother got stung in the eye when we were kids, not fun!
Have to wait for the insurance company, can't get an adjuster to look at it until Aug 18th. Definitely can see some damaged/water logged "wood"
It seems adjusters are in short supply these days. Damn that sucks. Good luck with it! I'm not quite in the clear anymore because now the other insurance company is trying to screw us over lol.
And there it is…
Yeah I figured it wasn't going to go as smooth as it was haha. I hate insurance. One of the biggest scams ever created. I plan on it, I'm not in a hurry haha. We were only supposed to use it once this yr and wife is 8 months pregnant so I got nothing but time to fight them.And there it is…
Sad to hear this, but expected. The one guarantee with using other’s insurance…to make your life miserable. Been there, done that.
Good luck, brother. I honestly hope you stick it to them.
Yeah I am happy they didn't drag it out too, one less thing to deal with before the next (and last haha) baby comes in 3 weeks haha.
