Our Second Flat Continued

Here is a photo of part of one of the compartments that had damage and melted.  You can see the propane line that comes out to the side of the RV for hooking up our outside grill.   We do not drive with the propane on, if we did there could have been a big fire or explosion if the line was damaged.  You can see the melted back of the compartment and white plastic drippings on the bottom by the opening plus some damage from the tire blowing the day before.

The current estimate for all the damage is just under seven thousand dollars and we are covered by our insurance thankfully.  Another point, the replacement black water tank and the melted compartments are made as needed at the factory (for our older model) so it will be weeks before they can reach our repair facility and be installed. In another few years when we go full time (retired).  We will continue to keep good insurance and road service, plus an emergency fund of about this much for none insured topics. 

 

What are these topics?  Once full time in a few years we will not have a house to while the RV is in the shop.  With no home and no RV we will need to pay to live somewhere for this down time. 

See you on our next post.
