That's heartbreaking to see, but maybe we can all learn something. These are 30 year old houses, not so old, riding on 30 year old taco truck chassis, older than dirt. GM built them well but not for the service they've seen. My words of encouragement are that things you fix stay fixed -- after several years of halfway solutions to recurring brake issues we replaced every piece from the calipers through the lines back to the hydroboost. All flakiness gone, and many scary things discovered and fixed in the process. You just have to dig in and *want* to find problems, because if you find and fix them at home they won't happen on the road. And then this happens (music festival, sunset behind the trees)

You make some very good points. Maybe the most important is that even in tragic situations like this one, we ALL can try and learn something. Might be something different for each one of us but learn SOMETHING. This is a tough one for sure. Everybodies worst fear.

EVERYONE, please don't store your receipts in your MH without having an electronic copy or a copy at home. I use to store mine in my RV so now I'm having to go everywhere asking for receipts that date back to 2007. Also take pictures of everything you do you your pride and joy!!!

Here's hoping you find a great replacement coach and have lots of wonderful adventures in it.
Glad no one was hurt!

Bobmiller,
Can you post more details. This seems like an excellent investment.
