OUCH!

[K6ON]

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!

Ouch is an understatement! That is truly nasty!! Not good at all!

Indeed!

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

Yikes!

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???

That'll buff right out.

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.

May as well call your insurance company, his is not responsible. Ron

That's true in GA where I live (and other states I'm sure) but I think in CA it's who owns the property where the tree trunk is who is responsible.

Sorry to hear, why did the branch break,wind?

That's the kinda fun that Nobody needs! Hope you get it cleared up soon. You have my luck. Couldn't have happened BEFORE you re-skinned the roof!

To say that sucks is insufficient. The heat has been bad even up at the lake. I jumped in my truck to leave and the rear view mirror had fallen off. Glad the weather has calmed down a bit.

That really sucks. I worry about trees or branches falling every time there are heavy winds at my place. I had a large oak come down and a pine took out a storage shed this past winter. I'm just glad it wasn't my home. Good luck with the repairs!!
