Big Fix Underway

I'm sure you will remember back in 2012 when we were traveling from Vista, CA to Jackson Hole Wyoming for our first year when we had the two tire blowouts on I-15. We had to replace all of our fifth wheel tires and, worst, each side of our fifth wheel had damaged wheel wells and siding. Here are a couple shots of that damage:

The left side (first blowout):

and the right side (second blowout)

The one thing we never did was have our insurance repair the damage to the fifth wheel.

That process was started yesterday after over 3 1/2 years. I traced down the details - thanks to the blog - and found the insurance information that we had at the time. There was no problem creating the claim and I expect to hear from the claim adjuster today. That will be a huge relief for us and now is a good time to have the work done while we are in the house. I'm not sure yet how the logistics will work out without our having a truck, but we will find out.

One thing we are looking at as a change to our transportation arrangements is to acquire another truck. We will have to make some kind of arrangement, soon, for the fifth wheel. To do that, we would have to eliminate one of our cars - or both - so that we could afford another truck. There are all kinds of options we are looking at for our travel plans to Jackson, so hang on for the news of all the changes...
