Hammered yet again!
All set to leave this morning for our first trip of the year. Awakened about mid-night with horrific lightning, thunder and yes...hail . Just checked the Trailmanor and yes....significant denting. Second time in two years.
If you live where hail is possible, it would seem you better have some sort of hard cover shelter or you will pay for it. I have been planning and saving for two years to come up something to cover the TM, but I guess I don't have to worry about it now! I know I am not going to report this one to the insurance company...they took it in the shorts on the last storm.
So, if you you see a 2922KD traveling in Colorado that looks like a golf ball...that's me .

So sorry to hear! If you had left a day earlier... Hopefully, all seams and seals are still intact.

You want be the only one, ours was already dimpled when we bought it and since then our 4 year old grandson has put some additional dimples on the side, trying to play "call the woodpecker".

So sorry, Mark. I had mine under cover http://www.trailmanorowners.com/foru...ad.php?t=15027 and still got dimpled all along the curbside of the trailer. As all of us "aluminum can" owners know, you can't "pop" the dents in aluminum, and re-skinning goes over the insurance value of the RV (unless it's a very expensive Class A), so we learn to live with our dimples.
I don't play golf (I shoot little orange dishes that fly through the air) but maybe with dimples like a golf ball, our TMs are now more aerodynamic?

Haven't experienced yet but hail happens occasionally here (in thutty yar have had more damage from hail than himmicanes). I suspect that a reasonably heavy tarp will cushion/spread the imact "enough".
Must have been a heck of a wind to get damage on the side when under a canopy.

Wow, that is unfortunate, Mark, but not surprising with the weather patterns we've been having lately. At least you can travel now without worrying about it.

We got hammered Saturday (yes on the 4th of July) and the front shell on the front, top and one side is all dimpled and then the rest is not as bad. Sky lights not damaged at all. My question is did your insurance rate go up when you turned in a claim the first time? I want to turn in the claim because I will have a hail damaged camper if I sell this as it is. How did you get a realistic bid with the insurance as TM is different than a skin on other campers? Thanks for any info/advice anyone can give me.

We had hail damage to our 2007 3326. State Farm insurance had a specialist come out and when done they totaled it for $23,000.00. We bought it back for $5000.00 and put the rest in the bank for other TM needs.
No increase in insurance costs.
Good to go.
Good luck.
