Where are you at? Home in Colorado Springs, or out somewhere?

At home the camper is parked at the lot.

At least 4 holes in the front cap. At least one in the rubber roof to inside. The ball was still in that one. Lots of divots.

Holy guacamole. Sounds like a phone call to the insurance agent is the prescription. Good luck with the repair.

We are Lake George. We’ve had pea to quarter size every other day. We’ve dodged the big stuff thankfully.

Ouch. Double ouch. Heading to Colorado Springs in 8 days. I sure hope this system moves far away.

It's been said before, times like this is why we have insurance. Good luck with your claim.

Hail

We just left before that hit we were outside of Colorado Springs now up by Minnesota border in Iowa sorry for your loss. Dealing with insurance sucks when it comes to Rvs we went through that when they totaled our wilderness. I turned down the first offer and told them to go buy me one for what they offered. They called back 2 weeks later trying to get me to settle again I took 1500 less than I wanted for the Rv and kept it sold to a friend for the 1500 they wanted to start camping but didn’t want to spend what we did to start. And they still have it.

Ouch - that hurts.Hope your insurance steps up and makes it like new again

The worst hail I have ever seen was in Colorado Springs 2-3 years ago when there was an 12-18 inch dump. We missed most of it at the KOA but had to drive through some coming from Pike's Peak

We missed the Upstate NY dump of a few days ago, barely even got any rain as it went around us both sides.

Last Thursday we had 10 minutes of golf ball sized hail. The TT was sitting in the driveway with no visible damage. Broke some floor tiles that sit in our deck tables and punched a hole in a side table.

This video is of my back deck.

Sadly, that size is a regular here. This time and one time in June we got much larger.

Our skylights are gone and two cars down. Haven't had time to assess the decks, shed, outdoor furniture, gutters, etc . . .

That is awful mad max. I would guess you will be getting a new roof on the house too. We had hail smaller than baseball last September 1st and it smoked our roof (we had just left for camping hours before it hit, so the trailer and truck were spared). Good luck sorting it all out with the insurance company. Good news is it was an act of god and not through any fault of your own, like an at fault accident.

Sorry see your unit get, what appears to be, destroyed.
Got caught at a car show in Calgary years ago and had one of my prized Mustangs totaled. Could not even drive it home. Many others written of that day also.

Not to make light of your damage Hodgy but is that outdoor restaurant legal?

Mad Max, have you picked out what rv you want next? That one, by my guesstamation, is totaled or at least I wouldn't want it after an attempt to fix it! Plus with the way repair facilities are it would be a year before you got it back, so the rest of this camping season & most, if not all, of next year's, GONE!

Lol. We'll see what Allstate says. This is a 2018. The last camper got a new roof and underlayment a few years ago.
