MMAPer VS Big Dog





First night out, we stopped in a rest area.  As Paul was snacking and I was starting supper, he started yellling, NOOOO.....STOP..... and left the coach!
The truck in front of us backed into us, pushing us back about 11 feet!!!






$1000.00 mirror will need replacing!
 Have it duct taped together right now!  The manufacturer says it takes 3 weeks to get it.
 As will our window........ Hopefully we can get it taken care of in MD, since it, too will take time to relplace.
 The slideout for the generator in front of the motorhome is bent and a little warped, so we cannot open it.  There are some gouges as well.... they can wait til we get home.



 The wheels of the truck that backed into us were just in front of the line, with his overhang to the end of the side line.  He pushed us back that far!!
Praise the Lord no one was hurt!!

and Paul had a good conversation with the driver, a vietnamese gentleman.

What an exciting start to our trip!!

Oh my goodness! Wow. So glad you are all safe!! Wonder how much the window and slideout will cost if just the mirror is $1,000!
Side note: did you say Dad was snacking while you were making Dinner? haha.
