These are pictures from an old news article where a tree fell on a popup camper.

I'm pretty sure no one was hurt.

Now that would be a project camper.  ::)

Man that would stinks.  How would you get it to a dealer to get fixed.  Probably was totaled.

I don't think any camper can withstand a tree falling on it 😮

Look at the bright side, it did not damage the 12 pack of Sams Cola from Wally World underneath by the cooler. And the cooler looks ok too, probably where the adult beverages are. After something like that I would need quite a few adult beverages. I always try and scope out the trees before setting up for dead or cracked branches but how do you figure on an entire tree? Also is a good ad for 100% replacement cost RV insurance.

At least the tree fell on a Fleetwood PUP.  Easily repaired, right?...NOT... there is no longer a Fleetwood corporation!!  Now stuck with only firewood!

Wow! Looks like no one hurt in ether accident. Both are write-off for insurance.  (You do have insurance? right?)

The tent trailer - I would be tempted to "buy back" and fix (depending if there is a wrecker with replacement parts) or part out and sell off....

This illustrates why people need to insure there belongings!
