The "proximate cause" of the damage was your hitting the tire tread, not just something mechanically going wrong with the rig. <br /><br />If you had neglected to mention it to Coach Net or Freightliner, more than likely they would have been able to see it was caused by something hitting it, and it would just have delayed your repairs. It's never better to hide something from your insurance company. :) <br /><br />Depending on the circumstances of your hitting the tire tread, it will either be covered under your comprehensive, or your collision coverage. At USAA were I worked our guideline was if the object was moving it was comprehensive, if it was laying in the road it was collision. Your deductible will apply and if it is deemed to be a collision it could cause a rate increase. <br /><br />The tow bill will also be covered under the motor home policy, so be sure to send them the receipt. <br /><br />I hope the repairs will be done quickly so you can be on your way.

I am so sorry. Poor Baby. Poor you guys. <br /><br />But as always, you are handling it with a great attitude and good humor! A role model for folks like me for sure.

Hope things go well with the repair and insurance company. I know you have CoachNet on speed dial by now.<br /><br />Syl and Gin<br /><br />PS-Thanks for the pic of the exit sign leading to our old house. :-) How do you pronounce the name of that town again? :-) Gin and Sylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11849882478471352086noreply@blogger.com
