I feel your Pain!!!!

We had a small micro-burst come through by our house in the City of Oswego in Upstate New York. My neighbor had a giant Willow tree that apparently had started rotting from the inside some time ago. Well, my camper found out the hard way. Luckily no one was home and nobody was hurt.

Also, I feel your pain about the insurance. I did not have insurance on my camper I just assumed when it was in my driveway home owners would cover it as personal property. That is not the case they look at it as a utility trailer parked in the yard max of $1000. Just purchased this baby last year around the same time.

But now we have a 2013 So it all works out in the End!

That tree did make a mess of your RV I understand your homeowner's insurance not covering the full cost of the RV, however since the tree fell from your neighbor's yard onto your RV, have you looked into filing a claim against his homeowner's insurance? Once, years ago, we had a huge sycamore tree fall onto your neighbor's fence and knocked off the water faucet from the side of his house. Our policy wouldn't cover any of our loss, but paid for his fence, his faucet, the lawn damage, cleanup of the tree and even paid for the water he lost until a plumber could turn off the utilities... And all they did for me was say, "You haven't met your deductible, so there is no payment."

You might find his insurance company is in a position to pay your losses incurred when their policy holder's tree damaged your property.

That will give us some encouragement to get the rest of the trees in our yard topped. We have gap coverage on the vehicles but would not want to go the the stress of what you have gone through. Hope everything gets replaced quickly for your sake.

Yes I spoke with the adjuster about that and she said that since nothing on the house was damaged there is no case. The Insurance company did cover the removal of the Tree off of my Camper and driveway. But only because the force from the tree slamming into the camper drove the tongue jack about 6 inches into my driveway. Had the tree not damaged my driveway they would not have covered the damage.

You might want to doublecheck with an attorney. Any action would likely be against your neighbor's policy, not against your neighbor. The loss was not a result of anything you did. His policy should cover losses you suffer because of his "action"

It's always sad to see damages, such as these, that were not the fault of the owner except being at the wrong place at the wrong time.

Insurance companies can be difficult, to say the least. Both the insurer and the insured are playing the odds. You can bet the insurer will come out ahead, no matter what, or they wouldn't stay in business. I'm surprised they didn't apply the "act of God" clause.

As far as property damage goes, I'm inclined to think self-insurance (setting an amount aside to cover such mishaps) is a better way to go. Then you don't have the hassle of claims, deductibles, getting quotes, etc. It's certain you won't get replacement cost if the RV is totaled. But, you do need to protect yourself from personal liability.
