Thumbs Up  You must bake some pretty good brownies and muffins! LOL Sometimes a little kindness will go a long way.  I'm happy for you.

I agree with techntrek...while you want it fixed, you probably can get by for the 4th by using some duct tape.

Not as bad as I was picturing, I would definitely tell them if they can't get it done by your next trip, they need to delay tearing into it so you can duct tape it and go camping.  I did exactly that when my 'pod was in last year for a few weeks to have the decals replaced.  I picked it up from them after it had been there a while, went camping, and then dropped it off again.]]> Wed, 15 Jun 2011 09:42:25 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1860&PID=16694#16694 Fun until we hit a deer : Ouch and owie, keticach! https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1860&PID=16687#16687 Author: Hodge-PODge

Welcome to the group!  Smile
 
However, sorry to hear about your encounter with the deer. Cry  If it's not too badly damaged, I think I'd be tempted to do the "temporary patch" mentioned, to still get out on 07-04.  My experience with dealers is they move sloooowly.  Sales first, cash service/repairs second, insurance work - when they get around to it.   Good luck!

You need to use the "Post Reply" button to go into the full-featured posting mode (its above and left of the Quick Reply).  Once you are there, look for the little picture of the tree, 3 buttons to the left of the little smiley and just above the "I" for Italics.

On the left side of that screen you can upload your picture, then you can click on the file (again on the left) and it will appear on the right side - both the file name at the very top plus a preview near the bottom right.  Click OK and then you'll come back to the Post Reply page.

I think that's a great idea for a MN/WI rally.  Hopefully the r-pod will be totally repaired by then.  I haven't gotten the written estimate yet but was informed it will be over $2,000 and was told it is unknown if the camper will be ready in time for the 4th of July weekend.  I sure hope so as we have a big trip planned to go to Mount Rushmore with the kids.  Would be disappointing if we can't go and I think I would be the most bummed.  I have a pic from my mac if someone can tell me how to post it I would be happy to share it.

I would think that the insurance will cover the repairs up to the deductible so that part may not be so bad though they may want the trailer repaired sooner than later.  In the greater scheme of things, however, you and your fiancées safety is of upmost importance, and I'm glad to see that you made it out of there okay.

I feel for you. On our very first trip with our first trailer (not the R-Pod, fortunately) a deer ran right into the front corner of our trailer. Bent the snot out of everything and busted the black tank drain. Since we were in the middle of the Cascades, we had to tape up things the best we could (Duct Tape!!) and limp on in to Newport for repairs. So glad that you are okay, though. And I know exactly what thoughts went through your mind! Hope all the repairs go well and you are back into camping soon!
Good Luck!

Welcome!  If the repair timeframe will cut into upcoming trips, see if you can just tape some heavy-duty plastic over the damage and put off the repair for a month or three.  Let us know how the process goes, I'm sure many here will be interested and pulling for you.

If you can get a data plan for your cell phone you can keep up with weather alerts on your laptop or cell phone.  I do this all the time on trips where they are calling for bad weather.

This weekend my fiance and I took our R-pod out for an exciting adventure to a Wisconsin resort that we had never been to before.  We only were going for the weekend and it was a last-minute decision to head out.  We quickly packed up, grabbed the dogs, and headed out.  The weather was beautiful the entire weekend and only had to turn the air on one night.  I love having all the conveniences of home with me.  However, there was no t.v. reception where we were but it all seemed good as the weather was cooperating so no need to watch for weather alerts.  The resort was ok.  We were in great spirits on the drive back until 15 minutes after we were driving back home, a deer ran into the front of the R-pod breaking a three foot crack in the wood and fiberglass.  I could have just cried.  All that kept going through my head was "how much is this going to cost, how long will I be without a camper, and my kids will be so disappointed."  I can't imagine a summer without it.  It only happened today and I think I could still cry.  Keeping my fingers crossed that we will be back on the road soon.Cry]]> Sun, 05 Jun 2011 16:12:25 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1860&PID=16357#16357
