I’m hesitant to post this because we’re still in the middle of dealing with insurance but we had a major devastation on July 2. The hundred plus year old, silver maple tree in my front yard fell directly on the van.
The pop-up reinforcement that was designed into it, actually stop the damage from going any further!
We took 2 1/2 days to get her cut out from under the tree and started to the initial repairs. I’m going to replace everything, the doors, the passenger fender, the hood, the core support, the passenger turn signal and part of the grill plastics we’re all damaged
The top of the roof was touching the steering wheel, but the pop top framework is still perfectly straight and I even ordered some new solar panels even though the ones that are on the van still are working and I have no idea how. Renogyapparently makes a really tough panel.!!
Currently working on purchasing new her front end so I’m gonna upgrade her to the 2014 and newer headlights grill hood give myself room for an intercooler and possibly a hidden winch
I’m surprised State Farm did not total it as of right now, they’ve sent me an initial payment that is more than double the Kelley blue book on a van with that miles that stock
So far the hardest part about it has been the night it fell sitting in the garage, listening to them drop 14 inch thick tree limbs that were small trees themselves onto the top of the van, knowing there was nothing I could do to stop the damage, I was very fortunate that I did not have an electrical fire
