Update: so far, the truck's estimated repair cost is $20K. There's no estimate on the camper as of yet but it sounds like ODM is starting the repairs.

Overlander63,
Sorry for the slow response.
Yes, if you've got more photos, you have my permission to post them.
I understand the parts are in and that work has begun.

ODM is a great place to have your 'baby' cared for. I arrived without an appointment on my way back from Texas two weeks ago, and asked them to look at my air conditioner. Mike fit me into the schedule, and Terry and Tim replaced by unit while I waited. That allowed me to make it home that night by 8 PM. Great people who care for Airstreams.

For repairs on the East Coast, you have picked one of the two best places to take your trailer. Out of Doors Mart has been an Airstream dealer for many, many years. They are quite competent.

Whoa! That could have been so much worse - I imagined the whole side of your Airstream caved in. Whew. Now Terry you take really good care of that beautiful Airstream.

Agreed. Much like an aircraft landing; if you can walk away from it, it's good.
Terry and the whole ODM staff have been very responsive and have actually called me to provide updates on progress. I was pleasantly surprised.

Just an update regarding our accident; both the TV and trailer have been repaired and are ready to come home! We'll take some leave next week after my change of command and pick them up!

The trailer would have been done several weeks ago, but we had to wait for one part that was backordered.

That's good news! I'm certain that you'll find ODM did a great job for you as they have for us ever since we moved east from Texas. They have been our "Go To" dealer for several years not only for maintenance and repairs but for modifications of all sorts. The reason they've been around for decades is most obvious to us. They're great!

Overlander63: understood and no worries. There would have been no way for me to have picked it up. We'll see you next week.

Picked up both TV and the AS yesterday. All repairs done and passed inspection. Made it from ODM to Fancy Gap KOA without a problem. Today we traveled from Fancy Gap to Williamsport (PA) KOA again without a problem. Hooked up the AS and function checked everything including the dump valves. No problems.
Thanks for all your help and advice. Special shout out to Terry. Thanks for your help and advice when we picked up our "Beauty".
We'll see y'all down the road!

Unless my half century old memory is failing me... I believe that ODM is the oldest continuous Airstream dealer in existence. And IIRC they have been an Airstream dealer since 1964?

Yes. Moved from Winston Salem to Colfax around 1968. The "new" building has been here since about 1982, to replace the original that burned to the ground.

You're welcome. If that fender molding bugs you, remember the 2x4 and hammer trick I told you about. You should see the look on people's faces when I "custom fit" those parts to their trailer...
