Thank you to all who have replied and sorry for the delay. We've been busy with 4 different adjusters for damage to our jeep, both campers and house. Anyway, on the new Cougar, the adjuster came out, got up on the roof and crawled around, examined the vent cover and vent and said he thinks we dodged a bullet.

Our deductible is $1,000, so they said the vent and fan are less than that of course. Our concern is that the camper was parked on the west side of the house, and that side of the house is what has all the damage. Everything on that side has damage-garage doors, metal roof, vinyl, gutters, all metal trim, etc. In addition, it tore up the rag top on our jeep and it looks like it was hit all over with a hammer. On the older 5th wheel it got the awning, every plastic piece on the west side and back, both skylights, a broken window, etc.

There is no visible damage to the front or sides of the Cougar and we have found no broken trim etc. Is it really possible that this much hail did not damage the roof of the Cougar? We're paranoid that the insurance has closed the claim and 6 months down the line, we have a leak they did not find. My husband has also looked, and can't find anything, but isn't really sure what to look for.

Not looking for trouble, but just want to be sure we are not overlooking something. I read that hail will "dent" the TPO roof and that within each dent might be a slit, but it does not look dented to us. Are the new TPO roofs designed to take that much hail and not be damaged?

Thanks!
