I have to rebuke this somewhat. I took a lot of my time from work and personal money for this trip. Incase the kids to know this yet, the RV company called me back and told me the following: Their insurance won't cover the damage due to the trailer since it was "our trailer" that caused the damage - that's $479 for that damage. The damage done by the power line is estimated at $4,000 - so I have to pay a $500 deductible for that. They had to take the RV to Pompano Beach to get it repaired, and they charged me $210 for the driver and the mileage and gas for that trip. They are also going to charge me for lost rental time while it is being fixed. They also found some interior damage to the passenger seat the carpet, not to mention the screen door that Tytus had to rip so we could get into the RV. Basically, I am looking at another $2,200 for this trip. I had a lot fun on this trip, but will NEVER do this again. Not to mention that I had to drive the entire time since I was the only person over 25.
