Another very late Good Morning from me. I've been to see the physio this morning. Maybe I'll get a bit more movement in the back after I do a lot more muscle strengthening and some rotational exercises. Sitting in a plane for a day or so, while the back isn't good, wasn't very clever. But there weren't too many options.
Bernie, we await the insurance company accepting the open ended quote for the repairs. Nobody knows how bad anything really is, til the old Dometic 3 way is removed.
Jon, it looks like you'll be a busy boy at some point soon.
I hope everybody is having a happy hump day.
Safe travels
Good morning daily

Re: Good morning daily
It will depend on how far the repairer wants to look to determine the extent of the damage. Often, if the assessor can't see a clearly defined end to all the heat affected zone, they will write it off to be on the safe side ........ they have to warranty all repairs for the future life of the vehicle, if they call it a repairable or total write off, they are cleared of that responsibility ......supersparky wrote: ↑Wed Nov 19, 2025 2:06 pm Another very late Good Morning from me.

Re: Good morning daily
Terry, at this point the repairer is fairly certain that they won't write off a $100k vehicle for maybe a $20k repair. But if they do, we'll deal with that if it happens. They are more than a bit difficult to get on the phone. I was on hold yesty for 45 mins. Today, Terrie had 2 attempts, first one 45 mins, second try an hour or so later 65 mins. Still no answer and no offer of a call back.

Re: Good morning daily
Insurance wrote off a $160,000 motorhome with "water damage" as the reason, the $160,000 is what they insured it for this time, might have been more when it was paid out last time .....supersparky wrote: ↑Wed Nov 19, 2025 3:50 pm Terry, at this point the repairer is fairly certain that they won't write off a $100k vehicle for maybe a $20k repair.

No idea how much the owner before me paid for it at auction as a repairable write off, but I got it for $83,000, so I figured there was enough value still in it to repair what ever needed repairing ...... might be a possibility with your rig, buy back or demand the return of the vehicle as part of the settlement, then repair it
