So as most of you know it's been slightly hotter than hell here in the Sacramento Valley. As such a few trees have been suffering, especially a couple in my neighbors yard. A couple days ago one decided to shed a large limb which happened to land on my camper.

Back in December, after some stubborn leaks, I had the roof re-skinned by Marty over at ATC. As usual

a great job, and no leaks.

Here's photo's of my new roof and the inside of the camper. Also shown is my neighbor holding the branch that landed on the roof. Now starts the battle with his insurance company....groan.

Marty at ATC has already patched the roof but I'm left with a mess of a headliner. This should be fun..NOT!

The branch just missed the side liner...and no damage to either solar panel....whew!

Wow! Good thing no one was sitting on the couch! Looks like a spear through the roof.

Bob I think this is an opportunity for you to mount a periscope.

Thanks Dick, but there's enough "crap" on the rig already :blink:

Wow! Gee Bob-at least it happened in Sac and not out in the boonies! Just sitting here thinking what I would do if I was say, at one of those few places we usually stay that even has a tree and that happened. Lot's of duck tape and hope, I guess would work for a quick patch???

Crap! It's frustrating for sure. We've been dealing with windfall from our neighbors tree all spring. Luckily nothing has hit the camper or the house yet but we're getting tired of collecting and cutting up branches. We did lose our internet for a couple of days when the cable got taken down by a big branch. As others have said, glad it happened near home and no one was hurt. Good luck with the repairs and insurance.
