Truck damage update

A real-time update on our truck issue, where the truck broke free of the motorhome when being towed.

As mentioned in that post, we decided to head home to get the truck fixed (if possible), and do the Alaska trip another year. After driving our morothome and truck separately for about 950 miles (1,529 km), we made it home safely.

Today we dropped off our truck at a local body shop, so they could investigate further, and get it inspected by the insurance adjuster. Hopefully we’ll hear their conclusion in the next few days, most likely early next week.

Here are some photos of the broken components laid out on the ground at home:

Truck, front frame, tow base plate, bumper, tow bar; all damaged:

I’ll do more real-time updates as we hear more, but in the meantime will resume normal blog posts next week, which are a couple of months behind real-time. They are not without drama, too… stay tuned!
