 Yeah, so a semi hit me. What had happened was I was at a Cabela's parking lot overnight and my slides were out and I was next to other people in RVs and trucks, but they were nice big long spaces like Cabela's has. I had the blinds down right here and the one right here and I was working in my chair about 7.30 in the morning and I see this semi Come like it's going to turn into the space next to me Which it did and then the entire rig shook and I almost jumped up out of my chair to go look but then I saw through the other window that it kept going and I thought oh, I just shook because semis make you shake when they go by. They're big and Really didn't think anything else of it and then I hooked up. I left. I walked around my rig didn't see a thing wrong. I Usually I'm looking down because I'm checking my tires and the corners of my slides and to make sure the jacks are upright And I am pretty careful because I'm new with the fifth wheel But I drove about an hour and a half and I stopped to dump my tanks and get water And I walked around the outside of my rig and I saw that the vent was gone on the outside of my refrigerator Well, of course, I just thought the vent fell off and then I see there's a big groove in The paint and I thought oh my god. What did I hit? Well, then I was filling up my water and it took about five minutes and I look up And I see that this window is completely shattered and not only that But the other window over here has a chip and the entire top of My rig about 12 feet tall has these huge metal grooves in the paint. So of course I Still think I did it. I was like my god. What kind of a tree did I go by that did that? So I just decided to fix it myself I was taking pictures to send to the dealership so they could order the window And I was just gonna buy the window maybe put it in myself trying to fix the grooves You know order a new cover for the vent and I was editing the photos and I noticed that there was paint transfer Inside of one of the grooves. I was like wait a minute and then I looked at the directionality of the damage And that's when I saw that the damage went from the back of my rig towards the front And I had not backed up that day not at all not one time not two feet I was going straight the whole time and that's what I realized that that semi had hit me You could tell he tried to correct When down took out this window a whole bunch of paint the vent and kept going I decided to put in a claim because it wasn't my fault. My deductible is $500 for collision Now in some states uninsured motorist would cover that but not in my state in my state It falls under collision, but I wanted to make sure they knew it wasn't my fault So I sent them more photos really documented really well And then I actually got the insurance company to agree to send an adjuster out to my BLM spot that I'm at right now To assess the damage because then they know that it wasn't my fault I didn't want to just get it fixed because then there's nobody from the insurance company to go Oh, yeah, look at the paint transfer look at the directionality of the stuff They tried to get me to go to a dealership, and I just was like no I have to drive hours to get there then they have to do an estimate Then they have to order the part that's going to take a month And then I'm gonna have to go back to the dealership and be out of my rig for a week And this is my house. So I got them to agree to send somebody out well, they were supposed to come within a week and It was the day before the last day they could have been here So I called the insurance company and I said look I'm just getting a little nervous because a lot of companies are sending workers home right now and sure enough the independent adjuster company out here that was supposed to come look at me had canceled days before and They didn't have any employees. They weren't sending their employees out on any more jobs But nobody told me that Usually these days when you have a car claim you can just go into the app and give them your photos and everything I told them I had the part numbers For the windows the manufacturer of the windows the cost of the windows The only thing that they had to decide was how much the grooves in the paint were worth, but they couldn't do it. I Went ahead and ordered the windows back in my Homestate where my family is whenever I get there. It'll be there to be repaired So I'm really lucky you guys because I'm camping with Wonderboom I don't know if you know Eric and Robin from Wonderboom Check them out. They're amazing. He is like a master carpenter He's coming over here in a minute to give me a fix before he hits the road And I'm so lucky. He's going to actually pop this window out, which is on screws I did not know this until this happened and he's gonna screw in a piece of wood I'm gonna show it to you guys in case anyone has a broken window because right now I mean it could be months before I can get this fixed because by the time I get where I wanted to go There might not be anybody working that week or that month I have to say in the scope of everything else that's happening right now This seemed like a big deal for a minute. It does not seem like a big deal now You know, I'm fine The propane lines weren't hit I'm lucky enough to have somebody with me that can help me cover it and then I'm just gonna keep it moving I'll take care of it when I can Hey Eric with Wonderboom My good friend who's gonna help me with this. Thank goodness Yeah, you can see it was door got mangled just completely ripped off Well, I'm lucky they didn't get any wires Yeah Looks okay. Yeah, yeah, I checked all the connections and everything seemed nice and tight I didn't see any on poles, so should be okay. Yeah, really easy So yeah, we're just gonna throw together a quick little piece of plywood to cover that up for the time being and make sure that looks Halfway decent protected from the elements inside. Yeah, it's probably a little hard to see from down there But this is yeah, I got see we got raked across and scratch this but it's great. It's broken the window It's you know, it's the tempered glass so it hasn't all fallen out yet lucky. Basically, yeah, it's big Same thing. We're gonna pull I'm gonna pull this guy off put a piece of temporary Plywood over it to make sure it's you know water tight and good for the you know You go hit a couple of these bumps pulling down the road. Yeah, it's gonna Yeah Pull a couple of screws out of here Wow, it's nice to have you around All of our view windows are roughly the same concept I mean, they've just got this the outer track and an inner track and Put the track into and the other one just basically shoot screws through this part And it just pinches it into the to the opening basically so right now. This is all just a whole big Now we just have to pop out being held by the by the tape yard or by the adhesive now on the other side So, you know, it's kind of pretty cool. Yeah, it's really pretty in the light But I can't drive because it would fall out and kill somebody Can I help in some way? You want me to go outside? It's raining It's raining glass Good Eric what are you gonna do? You're gonna just karate chop the hell out of that thing get it out of the window I'm just it's more just a case Yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, that would come apart for sure Wow It just has the regular seal it's not all tape, you know heavy like a Dicor tape or any kind of turn a bond or anything like that. So so that's good Can you let me look at the other side where he hit it? Yeah, see if I it's for the insurance company, you know Just kind of jammed it up against, you know the part that overlapped This is what you know, this seal is the weather stripping that keeps the water out So we basically just got to get all this busted glass off and out of the way And then I'll be just throw that piece of plywood on Temporarily on where the glass was and then we can put the whole model back. Yeah. Yeah, so I won't get any rain in That's good We got really breezy in here. Oh Wow Wow Thanks to my driver Actually, we could make a mosaic out of this we should keep the broken glass and like make a tabletop Actually would be you should keep it for one of your really cool school. He builds everybody wander boom Look at this Quarter-inch piece of underlayment plywood and I just happened to have a little bit of flex seal Oh spray spray, so I gave it a quick coat of that But pretty custom cut the piece. I didn't get too crazy with the edges Wow, I just thought you were gonna put a big square Yeah, the problem with that is that the way that this attaches to the you know This is the seal that closes up against the rig So if I were to shoot the plot a bigger piece of plywood on through here Then it would be sticking through and we wouldn't be able to get the seal in the side We've got a nice little lip on the inside here But if I shoot a couple of screw holes through that won't affect it when the the new one is put back on It's no big deal. So I've got some of these little self-tapping screws Very handy dandy like that. Cool. And then Couple of those. Oh look how pretty inside pretty basic That's outside and on the inside. I think I might just paint a mural You know something something for how I feel about that truck driver that broke my window Yeah, some some message. There you go. Yeah, perfect That is really really beautiful It's definitely not as pretty as it used to be. No, no, but yeah Yeah, it will but you know what it doesn't look like I'm rich And then I have a bunch of stuff in there to be robbed. I do not And just like that. She has a new window So this is it. I am so lucky Eric that you're here and we're leaving off the the blind and a little cover right there for now because you know Whatever they can reattach that when they fix the real window Yeah, yeah, thank you. Thank you so much Eric saves the day You're all doing well out there. Everybody have happy travels and be free
