Glad you and your wife are ok, sorry to hear about your Rig and TV.

So sorry to hear of your misfortune. I hope you and the DW aren't physically injured. Hope they got the responsible party and they get what they deserve for their recklessness. Good Luck going forward.

Very sorry to hear of your loss. As long as you and your family are ok, nothing else matters. I understand your decision, but feel free to stick around.

Glad to hear you are ok. I sure hope you didn't accidently hit the loud pedal instead of the brakes when you hit the individual responsible.

Sorry for your loss. I saw the picture in the news last week and my heart sank. I'm glad you and your wife are OK.

You just never know when you pull out of the drive way. Folks drive to fast, don`t pay attention and are just careless. I lost my only son early one morning, he had just finished school and had a job with Shell Oil. I remember the morning well as I got him up for his last day of work before his first vacation. I can hear him as he walked out the door that morning. Glad y`all are ok things can be replaced.

Dang, that sounds scary. Glad to hear you are the DW are physically ok.

Glad that you're ok. I've seen some stupid stuff on the interstate in my travels back and forth to Lincoln. Makes you think WTF is going on, are people getting stupider by the day or what? You couldn't pay me enough to live in Omaha. The one trip to the zoo or CWS is more than plenty for me.

This trip we have had two experiences with ******** drivers. This is the first time we've had any issues out on the roads for a total of 18,000 miles driving in six months.
I'm so sorry to hear of the OP's loss and hope they are not injured. It sounds like they aren't interested in recovering back to their situation and are giving up on RVing. So sad.

Sorry that happened and hope the OP and family are ok.

It can get pretty hairy out there even if you're not towing. Everyone be safe.
