How did your airstream get damaged?

WOW!!! With all the different directions that tree could have fallen, it chose your AS, kinda seems like that happened to others also. . A big open field where it dosen't hail and no trees seems the place to park.

Basketball goal. Thought I had it positioned so it wouldn't blow over at all but the wind evidently moved it around until the wind had it perfectly lined up to blow over and hit the AS. Danged ole wind.

We were broadsided after making a left turn at a 4 way stop......Other party was pulling out of a restaurant and said "his RV jumped out of Park."

We were going slowly when BAM--a big jolt......Trailer was totaled by insurance company...

We park in a secure building with valet park......no one is allowed to park their vehicles so we don't have to worry about someone backing into us in storage. paula

Blow out on interstate. Wheel well damage and destroyed the black tank valve. Also swiped a triangle road sign while trying to miss road work markers on other side - lost bottom part of leading awning arm. Other than that, so far so good.

Those road work cones, barrels, concrete barriers are sure close sometimes. Sometimes the flagger is standing right next to the roadway, looking the other way, and his stop/slow sign is leaning further into the roadway. I haven't hit one yet, but the workers try to steal as much road as they can get away with. Must be some sort of test.

I over-built the shed to protect our Airstream from large hail, but never expected 6000 lbs. of Red Oak. The last picture shows a second limb which penetrated the roof of the shed; only a quarter of an inch separates the branch from my wallet. Classify as a weather/act-of-god incident.

Dunno Paul, it seems to have held pretty well....I think it could have been worse.

As for my unit, the only damage to it remains the outer skins and corrosion which take your pick, there are many places to lay blame for that one.

My PO parked under a tree, got sap all over one side and a wrapped front window..used brillo to remove sap and a whole lot more those scratches will never buff out, never

[Vitaminsea]

Parked a foot from the curb on a city street that had a lot of arch or curve to the road for drainage. The tree didn't care about the road and grew straight up.

Hit the front awning arm against the tree and the awning arm got ripped out. Tree is fine.

600 hundred bucks to put a metal patch on or 20k to replace the entire panel. Hmmm which one.

I feel for all you people and your rigs that have gone before me. I did have a blow out on my rig, unbeknown to me until the blowing of a horn alerted me to OMG! Thank god for tandem axle. I don't know how long I was driving on 3 tires. Damage only to the curbside banana wrap and trim piece around wheel well. New Carlisle tires at the time defective. They were good and replaced all the tires $$$, my brand, what was available at the time. Now if I could fix all the water leaks that just started.

I purchased all my damage from previous owners
