Well, we always say every day is a new adventure. Some of those are definitely more fun than others. We're very thankful that no one was hurt and that the damage wasn't worse than it is. If you missed our video on the outside tour (before the accident), you can watch it here: ua-cam.com/video/p3drc3GfbAk/v-deo.html .
So sorry to see this, but as Stacy says “Nobody got hurt”, that is the main thing. Maybe you can do a tour of the Atlanta NIRVC as you get fixed. Continue to keep the great attitude, so glad you’re OK.
What a bummer! Look on the positive side, at least you didn't hit a deer doing 65 like we did. On a side note, I would also recommend getting a AUTOWOEL dash cam (I like FN8) because of the 170° field of view and it's night vision or similar. Also, I like having the rear camera as well to keep someone from saying I rolled backwards into them when stopped at red lights and such on an incline. Hopefully, NIRVC will have you fixed up and back on the road soon! *Inattentive drivers/Cell phone-texting drivers are becoming more and more dangerous by the numbers. Glad everyone is ok, but hate to see your baby like that because I know exactly how it feels. 🦺🚧🚔
Man, my heart goes out to. Seeing how good Newmar and NIRVC are with collision repairs, I'm sure they will have you good as new. That is one beautiful coach and loving the upgrades. Thankfully no one was hurt!
1st. I’m very grateful to hear that everyone is safe and unharmed. I’m so sorry for Freedom’s injuries. I’m sure when you awake each morning you must think that you just had a bad dream. Then there’s reality. I don’t doubt for a moment that Freedom will be better than new if that’s possible! We are all here for you guys and we will definitely be going down all the repairs lanes with you both. Thank You for allowing us the opportunity to learn how all this works out. Please try and keep your smiles through this next adventure. I truly feel that sick feeling you both have. I’ve had 3 brand new coaches. Two I had custom built. The first one was hit on the way home from picking it up. God bless you all🙏🏻♥️
Well you guys are taking it alot better then I would have. That's a beautiful coach. Good thing is it'll come back looking just as good as before. It's just gona be the down time. I'll bet 2 months..good luck
My heart breaks for you! Hopefully everything works out well, and it could have been a lot worse. The biggest thing in a crisis is to have a plan and it sounds like you have that. We have had to reschedule this year (as well) more than plans have worked out. We are heading to Savannah (Creekside RV Resort) after the Hershey show. Safer Travels!!
Thanking God you are both alright and no one else was badly hurt. Also that you are close and could get right in for repairs. I know this is a traumatic event. Take time to let your hearts heal.
So sorry about your mishap....SO GLAD YOU'RE OK....and no one else got hurt. Sounds as if you had the right people to help between the police, insurance co and others. Glad you can get it fixed soon....and get back to RV life!! Stuff happens, but you made good decisions, which created good results.... Stay well!
So sorry y'all have to deal with this unfortunate situation. I hope everything goes quickly as your home gets repaired. Stay safe and May God continue to bless you real good.
So sorry about the accident. I am glad that no one was hurt. You know I believe things happen for a reason that we are not able to see immediately. Take care and look forward to you next video
☹️😔so sorry your getting to share repairs with us in the future - Very thankful none of ya’ll were injured (besides your baby Freedom). Looking forward to seeing how this plays out - continued prayers for safe travels 🖖🏻😘👍🏻🙏🏻
So glad nobody was injured. I know all about canceling reservations. On our summer trip to the Tetons, Keith developed a terrible toothache. We found out from a dentist in Jackson, Wyoming that he needed a root canal. We had to change a month's worth of plans to have all the dental work done. You just never know from one moment to the next.
Oh no. Very sorry about the coach. I'm glad the both of you were not harmed. Metal can always be repaired. I am definitely seeing more drivers with little or no driving skills on the road. You can only drive so defensively. Take care and safe motoring.
So sorry to see that happen, Chris and I are so glad nobody got hurt! It always gives you a sick feeling in your stomach. Hope to see y’all down the road soon!
Tom and Stacy, when I first saw the notice for your new video my heart skipped some beats. So sorry Freedom had an accident. Thankfully no one was hurt. It still puts that sinking feeling in your gut. Like you said, plans and reservations had to be canceled, changed but they can be made again once everything is back in place. Hang in there! We're vicariously living it with you as you live through life's journey.
Y’all we were shocked at the finger nail. Glad y’all are ok. Nobody got hurt,you can fix all other. Today we came back from surf side Thur Houston. Sunday morning you would think traffic would be light. Oh no we nearly hit three times😔. On a lighter note y’all have inspired us to go ahead and upsize our airstream soon😎. Praying for you guys.
So sorry to hear about your accident. We all fear it! We went to Spartan Academy this year for one week that turned into 3 weeks of living under a canopy with our 3 dogs. I also had to change reservations and even lost money. We always have to make lemonade out of lemons. I love how you keep saying that no one was hurt and it could have been worse. You will get to all of your places eventually. We wish you Godspeed in getting your pretty new baby back to new. We are on our way to NIRVC in Dallas for annual maintenance and a few repairs. I agree that knowing they are regionally available gives peace of mind. Keep smiling and doing great videos!
I feel for both of you. It often makes me wonder ,are people using the "force" to drive. I am a disabled vet who drives a school bus to take up my time. About 2 years ago I was dropping a student off ,with RED lights on, wen a landscaper approached me. While watching my student get off he ran into my busses STOP sign, which also has lights. You really have to wonder how these people get by without major accidents. Again sorry for your loss,but, YOU ARE SAFE, Freedom will get better. Happier journeys.
We hope that never happens to us but if it does we will handle it just like you guys. Life happens and the important thing is everyone ok. It is scary sometimes because a lot of people just don't pay attention or they are on their phones.
I’m SO sorry. But at least you both are still good to go and you have a plan coming together. Looking back, this will be just a speed-bump in the road! Stay safe.
Whoa...bummer! So glad y'all are okay, no one was hurt, and that the damage wasn't far worse! We know what a bummer it is to have to re-arrange plans unexpectedly, bu tknow there will be other adventures while you wait. Hugs and prayers!
Awe heck, heartbreak. I can feel your pain. Your new baby!!! I’m sure they’ll fix it up like new. Thanks for sharing the good and the bad. Life detours happen. Good luck.👍
Oh! No!! Geeze. What an awful thing to happen. But, your attitudes are wonderful, so things will be ok. I just hate this for you!! Glad everyone is ok! ♥️❣️🙏🏼❣️♥️
Mike is the best and we also purchased from NIRVC for many reasons including their locations across the country. So sorry you have to go through this, but she will be as good as new and back on the road before you know it. As you know the good far outweighs the bad in this amazing lifestyle.
Was worried before your video started. Was then relieved to find that nobody was injured, the damage looks fixable and that all parties aparently have insurance. It always seems to cost a lot more to do repairs that you would think just by looking at the surface. You were both smart to pick a company that has many repair centers. Hoping that it all goes smoothly with a happy ending. Like the Iowa shirt.
Oh wow! So sorry this happened but so glad no one got hurt and everybody is fine. That sure hurts. Glad that hasn't happened to us yet with our new 2021. It really hurts the heart though! My heart goes out to you all (Star and the kitty cat Astro). Glad there was a witness also. Love your corn Iowa t-shirt also!! So glad your dealer is taking care of you!! Vogt RV has been good to us as well. Oh the cancellation of reservations I know how that goes...Definitely safe travels y'all!!
Hope your repairs are done properly. Me and my wife have a 2019 Camry Hybrid SL and the local council (Glenroy) bumped into our car while it was parked causing $1000.00 worth of damage (this year 2021). So I kinda know how you feel.
That is just so sad. We are full timers too and had our trips cancelled from May on due to a brother passing of Covid. Had to get back to the family ranch and take care of things. Then a month later, we both got Covid, survived it thank goodness, it really got us good. We decided to take a break and came to Alaska for 35 days (without the RV). We're still here...rented homes all throughout the loop and it's worked out and revived our spirits a bit. Looking forward to getting back to our RV travels SOON! Our hearts just broke for ya'll seeing this. :/ Praying you can get back on the road soon!
So sorry to hear about your brother passing and y'all getting sick. Glad to hear you're feeling better and are enjoying time in Alaska. Have a safe trip back to your RV.
Tom and Stacy, Very sorry to see your accident and glad to hear both of you are ok. Hope the repairs don't take to long and Freedom will be good as new. Best Wishes Harry&Polly Bowers
A helpful hint!! Don't forget to have the repair facility finalize the repair with a front end wheel alignment. A good facility is already aware of it though. The last thing you need is another headache from this accident 4 months from now with a premature wore out right, left or both steering tire. Safe travels ya'll!
Oh man. I'm feel so bad for you all. My husband cringed when he saw the marks on the Red Raider colors. The NIRVC people will make things right. We bought our rig (used) from them and it was a great experience. We needed a repair to a slide mechanism done in March and we went to their location in Surprise, AZ. They had us out in less than a day. I think they really understand when it comes to working on full-timers' rigs. We'll be in Texas this winter maybe, we'll see you down the road.
OMG, Tom and Stacie, I am so sorry to see this. I know that feeling when it happens, so I can imagine how you felt. You were lucky to have cooperating people, law enforcement and a good witness. I just don't know what to say....Howard
So sorry guys! And so glad no one got hurt and it wasn’t any worse! I know how things can change your plans for sure, we just spent 3 months traveling across the US that had to be changed up quite a few times due to circumstances. It was supposed to be our big Alaska trip we had been planning for two years, but of course the border never opened in time for us to go so we changed it. Then once we got out west all the wild fires changed our plans several times, we had to leave a few areas early because of the fires, actually drove through the fires 3 different times. Then our soft start went out on our solar so our ac didn’t work if we weren’t hooked up to shore and with two big dogs that put a huge damper on what we could do with it being so hot out west this year. Ended up just giving up and coming home 3 weeks early. Hoping for the best with your situation and look forward to seeing you all soon! God Bless.
Hey Jennifer! So sorry to hear about your trip. That's a real bummer that you couldn't get to Alaska this year, and then to have the fires and the soft start issues too. Not the summer y'all planned for either. Glad you made it home safely.
Awe that’s so sad your new beautiful Newmar got damaged. So glad you guys are ok and rolling with it though. We have a 2022 Dutchstar on order from the same NIRVC location you’re going to so we’re very familiar with it. Has been a great experience thus far. We live only about 30 minutes from there, and we’d enjoy meeting you guys if you’re inclined. We’ll be first time full timers when we get our Dutchstar early next year and I’ll be working from the road. We love your videos. If we don’t get to see you best of luck with the repairs and adjusting your plans!
Sorry about your accident. It is very minor and yes an inconvenience. We totaled an almost new diesel pusher a year ago and we and our dogs walked away. That was quite the experience.
I am so so so so sorry to hear this. Someone wasn't paying attention. Or they were on their darn cellphone. In any case, THEIR insurance is not going to be happy. I guess a diversion trip to Newmar is now in order. They will take GREAT CARE of you. It will be new again. Try not to fret, none of the 4 of you were injured and metal and fiberglass can be replaced. Our thoughts are with you, keep us up to date on the progress.
We are so very sorry that happen to you guys.. Your good folks and it's hard when good folks get rained on. But like you said, it's material and no one got hurt and that's what's important. I truly believe that when something like this happens, it's actually saving you from something worst that could have happen down the road. Hopefully freedom get's repaired fast and you'll be back better then ever..
Oh no, not the new bus 😳 I am so sorry glad you and Tom were not hurt. Well you certainly have had quite the summer and I guess this will just continue. Be safe y’all ❤️
I hate to see that happen. I feel for you. Glad everyone is alright. I‘ve had similar experience from just purchasing a vehicle and a Semi rear ended us at a traffic light just waiting for it to change. Haven’t even made the first payment. Unfortunately my wife injured her neck but survived. The bucket seat that she was sitting on was completely laid back. Thank god things were fortunate for you that way. Safe journeys.
Sorry to hear about the accident. You will be in good hands with NIRVC. The waiting TV/lounge room and the separate lunch room area at Lawrenceville GA is very nice. You will have 50 amp hookup at each assigned "waiter" site in the parking lot. They have a water and dump station, and the techs many times will do the dump and water fill for you when it is pulled into the bay. We will be at NIRVC on November 6th for a week! We totally agree with you that NIRVC is the outfit you want in your corner when things go wrong!
Hey guys, think of it this way. The down times only make to good times better!!! You grow stronger from adversity when you realize you have come through something unpleasant and tested your mettle. The bodywork (scars and dents) will soon disappear and you will be back in the saddle again!!!
Ugh! It’s truly unbelievable that someone driving in a small town with speed limits that are usually 25 mph or less could not be paying attention and inflict so much damage. I hope the police gave the driver a citation and a warning. I hate to see such damage on your beautiful coach. Hang in there!
My heart breaks for you with this disruption to your travels and the damage to your beautiful née coach. Thankful that no one was hurt. We have had several major issues in our full time travels. Health issues for both of us. Thankful we have a beautiful comfortable coach to live in. Several years ago we lost our coach to a flash flood. Our great replacement insurance and the staff of NIRVC and Entegra had a replacement for us in a very timely matter. We are very grateful and blessed. When you are in Lawrenceville, Rabbit Hill Park is just down the road in Dacula. Star and y’all can do some great walking there. Praying the disruption not be too long and that you are back on the road again.
Sorry to hear about your health issues and your coach being lost to the flood, but glad to hear it all worked out good for y'all. Thanks for the tip on Rabbit Hill Park.
Feel your pain. Lucky that you can still drive the MH and live in it at this time. We got hit head on and down the left side back in 2015 and were out of our MH for 4 months (not fun). Ours ended up better than new. Never a leak and still going strong today. Like you said have to be flexible.
Wow Linda! So sorry that happened to you, but glad to hear it worked out so well. They obviously did a great job with the repairs! Thanks for sharing your experience.
Oh no, so sorry to hear this and glad no one was hurt. After all your travels and for this to happen unbelievable. My heart goes out to you and pray all goes well with the repairs. Please do keep us updated. Love y'all
I bet, the person that swerved and hit your brand new rig was on the dang phone distracted. There is too many like that can't leave the phone alone. It like a sickness. Wish you guys well! Hate to see good responsible people have to go through the headaches because of others. Never a easy thing to accept.
Sorry to see the damage to the coach. I know it's terribly disappointing. If you happen to still be in Savannah and you have a couple hours, go to The Mighty Eighth WWII Museum located just off I-95. A must see for anyone who has any interest in WWII history.
Well, we always say every day is a new adventure. Some of those are definitely more fun than others. We're very thankful that no one was hurt and that the damage wasn't worse than it is. If you missed our video on the outside tour (before the accident), you can watch it here: ua-cam.com/video/p3drc3GfbAk/v-deo.html .
OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So sorry to see this, but as Stacy says “Nobody got hurt”, that is the main thing. Maybe you can do a tour of the Atlanta NIRVC as you get fixed. Continue to keep the great attitude, so glad you’re OK.
Great idea William. Thanks!
I am so happy nobody was injured. But my heart sank when I watched this episode. Hopefully it will be repaired correctly and quickly.
Thanks Frank! It will all work out.
What a bummer! Look on the positive side, at least you didn't hit a deer doing 65 like we did. On a side note, I would also recommend getting a AUTOWOEL dash cam (I like FN8) because of the 170° field of view and it's night vision or similar. Also, I like having the rear camera as well to keep someone from saying I rolled backwards into them when stopped at red lights and such on an incline. Hopefully, NIRVC will have you fixed up and back on the road soon! *Inattentive drivers/Cell phone-texting drivers are becoming more and more dangerous by the numbers. Glad everyone is ok, but hate to see your baby like that because I know exactly how it feels. 🦺🚧🚔
Man, my heart goes out to. Seeing how good Newmar and NIRVC are with collision repairs, I'm sure they will have you good as new. That is one beautiful coach and loving the upgrades. Thankfully no one was hurt!
Thanks so much! We are confident they'll get us fixed up.

Oh no! So sorry that happened to you. Ours could have been much worse. All a part of life.
Well you guys are taking it alot better then I would have. That's a beautiful coach. Good thing is it'll come back looking just as good as before. It's just gona be the down time. I'll bet 2 months..good luck
My heart breaks for you! Hopefully everything works out well, and it could have been a lot worse. The biggest thing in a crisis is to have a plan and it sounds like you have that. We have had to reschedule this year (as well) more than plans have worked out. We are heading to Savannah (Creekside RV Resort) after the Hershey show. Safer Travels!!
Thanks so much. It will all work out. Enjoy Savannah. We'll have a video on it soon... so much to do! Safe travels!
Glad everyone is ok!
That put a pit in my stomach, so I just know how much worse you all must have felt with the new rig.
You handled it well!
Thanks so much Mark. It's just one of those things.
Thanking God you are both alright and no one else was badly hurt. Also that you are close and could get right in for repairs. I know this is a traumatic event. Take time to let your hearts heal.
So sorry about your mishap....SO GLAD YOU'RE OK....and no one else got hurt. Sounds as if you had the right people to help between the police, insurance co and others. Glad you can get it fixed soon....and get back to RV life!! Stuff happens, but you made good decisions, which created good results.... Stay well!
Thanks so much Barbara!
So sorry y'all have to deal with this unfortunate situation. I hope everything goes quickly as your home gets repaired. Stay safe and May God continue to bless you real good.
IM SO SORRY ABOUT YOUR ACCIDENT. IM SO GLAD YOU GUYS ARE OK....... GLAD YOU WILL GET YOUR BRAND NEW BEAUTIFUL HOME FIXED... LOVE YOU GUYS
Awww, your new baby! So sorry guys! When you live in your rig that's tough!
We’re just chalking it up to a new experience.
How heartbreaking....so sorry, but so grateful you are all OK.
So sorry about the accident. I am glad that no one was hurt. You know I believe things happen for a reason that we are not able to see immediately. Take care and look forward to you next video
Sorry about your rig. Praise God you weren't hurt. Hope everything goes alright. Have fun after it is fixed.
The main thing is it wasn’t worse and everyone is ok!!❤️❤️❤️

OUCH! THAT IS A BUMMER.I FEEL FOR YOU!
Thanks
Sad what happened but glad it will all work out. Let’s try to keep your JBRV plan! Looking forward to our visit.
Bill & Susan
Oh Wow! So sorry, but very glad no one was hurt.

That’s all you can do. Things happen. Getting super upset just makes it worse.
The stress in your voices is heartbreaking. So sorry the accident happened. Take a deep breath. Prayers are headed your way with love from Houston.
Thanks so much Jeanette! ❤️
I’m SO sorry. But at least you both are still good to go and you have a plan coming together. Looking back, this will be just a speed-bump in the road! Stay safe.

Thanks so much Kyrle!
Glad you guys are ok and it wasn’t more serious. Stay well, stay safe
Thanks so much John!
Love the shirt, I'm from Iowa, I've lived here all my 64 years. Another 3 years and I'll be joinin ya out there on the road. No more Iowa winters!!!!!
Thanks Ben! We love visiting Iowa. But, yes, we'll stick with non-winters. 😁 3 years will fly by. Have fun planning your new life on the road!
Awe heck, heartbreak. I can feel your pain. Your new baby!!! I’m sure they’ll fix it up like new. Thanks for sharing the good and the bad. Life detours happen. Good luck.👍
Thanks so much. Things happen
Oh! No!! Geeze. What an awful thing to happen. But, your attitudes are wonderful, so things will be ok. I just hate this for you!! Glad everyone is ok! ♥️❣️🙏🏼❣️♥️
Thanks so much Judy. We're thankful it wasn't worse.
Mike is the best and we also purchased from NIRVC for many reasons including their locations across the country. So sorry you have to go through this, but she will be as good as new and back on the road before you know it. As you know the good far outweighs the bad in this amazing lifestyle.
I'm so sorry. Hope the other guy was insured and they get you back on the road quickly.
He was Candace.

Thanks Norman! Should be an interesting process.
Dang, so sorry to see that. Glad no one was hurt.
NIRVC is Great and so is Mike! He fixed our King Aire good as New! Almost same Damage. No worries!
Awesome Ralph! Glad to hear it. They are doing a fantastic job so far. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Oh wow! So sorry this happened but so glad no one got hurt and everybody is fine. That sure hurts. Glad that hasn't happened to us yet with our new 2021. It really hurts the heart though!

Hey Dan! Thanks so much. We're confident they'll do a great job with it.

Hey Jennifer! So sorry to hear about your trip. That's a real bummer that you couldn't get to Alaska this year, and then to have the fires and the soft start issues too. Not the summer y'all planned for either. Glad you made it home safely.
🙏🏻🙏🏻. Nice that y’all put it all into perspective and are rolling with it. Blessings!!
Thanks Edward
OUCH... Sorry for your pain.. Glad no one was hurt.
Love your new rigs..
Hoss😎
Thanks Hoss!
Awe that’s so sad your new beautiful Newmar got damaged. So glad you guys are ok and rolling with it though. We have a 2022 Dutchstar on order from the same NIRVC location you’re going to so we’re very familiar with it. Has been a great experience thus far. We live only about 30 minutes from there, and we’d enjoy meeting you guys if you’re inclined. We’ll be first time full timers when we get our Dutchstar early next year and I’ll be working from the road. We love your videos. If we don’t get to see you best of luck with the repairs and adjusting your plans!
Sorry about your accident. It is very minor and yes an inconvenience. We totaled an almost new diesel pusher a year ago and we and our dogs walked away. That was quite the experience.
So sorry to hear that Hugh. What a shame. We're so glad that you were all okay.
Omg, I felt just sick when I saw this. I am so sorry that’s just awful. Glad everyone is ok 👍
Thanks so much Melinda. Not the adventure we were looking for, but it could have been a lot worse.
Omg so sry , but glad y’all are all safe. I guess life goes on.
It will all work out Georgeana. Thanks
I am so so so so sorry to hear this. Someone wasn't paying attention. Or they were on their darn cellphone. In any case, THEIR insurance is not going to be happy. I guess a diversion trip to Newmar is now in order. They will take GREAT CARE of you. It will be new again. Try not to fret, none of the 4 of you were injured and metal and fiberglass can be replaced. Our thoughts are with you, keep us up to date on the progress.
Hi guys, thanks God everyone was OK. I'm about to cry 😢. But is gone be like new again. Be safe!
Thank you Sonia
So sorry about the accident. Glad everyone is ok.
Thanks Tim. We're all fine.
What a bummer so glad no-one got hurt God bless
Thanks Rosemarie!
That’s a bummer, but glad no one was hurt. I hope you were able to enjoy Skidaway park. Travel safe.
I'd cried.. We can feel the heartbreak as you talk about it.. that would be me too..
We are so very sorry that happen to you guys.. Your good folks and it's hard when good folks get rained on. But like you said, it's material and no one got hurt and that's what's important. I truly believe that when something like this happens, it's actually saving you from something worst that could have happen down the road. Hopefully freedom get's repaired fast and you'll be back better then ever..
That's a good way to look at it, and we often wonder about that also. Everything typically does happen for a reason. It will all work out fine. Thanks
Oh no, not the new bus 😳 I am so sorry glad you and Tom were not hurt. Well you certainly have had quite the summer and I guess this will just continue. Be safe y’all ❤️
It has definitely been a summer we'll remember Brett. 😂
I’m so sorry this happened to y’all. Glad everyone is ok
It definitely could have been a lot worse, Richard. Thanks!
Oh man. I feel so sick for you guys. It's so upsetting having a brand new RV damaged. Glad the repairs are going to go better than expected.
Thanks Carol!
Exactly the reason why I installed a dashcam in both of my vehicles in order to provide a recording for accident-related evidence!
So sorry that this happened, but at least you guys are OK and Freedom can be fixed...
Thanks Neil! Very true.
Were you able to catch the accident on your dash cam? The good news is you and the fur babies are ok and the rv can be repaired.
We don't have a dash cam yet.
So sorry to hear about this and your new rig. Stay strong and with everything RVing, soon it will just be something in your rear view mirror.
Thanks William!
Sorry about your accident. You both seem to handle it well, there's not much else you can do. God bless.
Thanks Vernon. Not much good comes from getting too upset over something you can't control.
First of all I am glad your all ok! I am so sorry that Freedom is hurt. Things can be fixed…I know it will screw up current plans,
Praying everything goes well for you guys
Thank you Grace!
Hang in there, something good always comes out from one of these situations
I hate to see that happen. I feel for you. Glad everyone is alright. I‘ve had similar experience from just purchasing a vehicle and a Semi rear ended us at a traffic light just waiting for it to change. Haven’t even made the first payment. Unfortunately my wife injured her neck but survived. The bucket seat that she was sitting on was completely laid back. Thank god things were fortunate for you that way. Safe journeys.
Sorry to hear about the accident. You will be in good hands with NIRVC. The waiting TV/lounge room and the separate lunch room area at Lawrenceville GA is very nice. You will have 50 amp hookup at each assigned "waiter" site in the parking lot. They have a water and dump station, and the techs many times will do the dump and water fill for you when it is pulled into the bay. We will be at NIRVC on November 6th for a week! We totally agree with you that NIRVC is the outfit you want in your corner when things go wrong!
Thanks y’all! We have always had great experiences with NIRVC, but we haven’t been to the GA location yet.
Glad you guys are fine but sorry this has happened. Stay safe
Hey guys, think of it this way. The down times only make to good times better!!! You grow stronger from adversity when you realize you have come through something unpleasant and tested your mettle. The bodywork (scars and dents) will soon disappear and you will be back in the saddle again!!!
Ugh! It’s truly unbelievable that someone driving in a small town with speed limits that are usually 25 mph or less could not be paying attention and inflict so much damage. I hope the police gave the driver a citation and a warning. I hate to see such damage on your beautiful coach. Hang in there!
Wow! So happy no one was hurt!
Thanks Anita!
thank God you all fine thank Jesus he better have great ins this guy with your paint job
Thanks Susan
wow glad your both ok
Thanks Al!
My heart breaks for you with this disruption to your travels and the damage to your beautiful née coach. Thankful that no one was hurt. We have had several major issues in our full time travels. Health issues for both of us. Thankful we have a beautiful comfortable coach to live in. Several years ago we lost our coach to a flash flood. Our great replacement insurance and the staff of NIRVC and Entegra had a replacement for us in a very timely matter. We are very grateful and blessed. When you are in Lawrenceville, Rabbit Hill Park is just down the road in Dacula. Star and y’all can do some great walking there. Praying the disruption not be too long and that you are back on the road again.
Sorry to hear about your health issues and your coach being lost to the flood, but glad to hear it all worked out good for y'all. Thanks for the tip on Rabbit Hill Park.
Feel your pain. Lucky that you can still drive the MH and live in it at this time. We got hit head on and down the left side back in 2015 and were out of our MH for 4 months (not fun). Ours ended up better than new. Never a leak and still going strong today. Like you said have to be flexible.
Wow Linda! So sorry that happened to you, but glad to hear it worked out so well. They obviously did a great job with the repairs! Thanks for sharing your experience.
Sorry to hear about the mishap. It took me 5 years to build my rig and this and bad weather is my biggest fear.
Ugh…. Dang-it! Sad to hear about this fender bender…
Glad everyone is ok. The repair process should be interesting.
Stay safe
Hey Jeff! It should be interesting to see. Hope things are good out west!
WOW So sorry to see/hear about this. I know they will do a great job for you at NIRVC. They did on my little RV.
We have full confidence in them
Oh no, so sorry to hear this and glad no one was hurt. After all your travels and for this to happen unbelievable.
My heart goes out to you and pray all goes well with the repairs. Please do keep us updated. Love y'all
I bet, the person that swerved and hit your brand new rig was on the dang phone distracted.
There is too many like that can't leave the phone alone. It like a sickness.
Wish you guys well! Hate to see good responsible people have to go through the headaches because of others.
Never a easy thing to accept.
Thanks Michael! We guess its just one of those things that happens sooner or later if you travel as much as we do. But you’re right, its never easy.
So sorry your new baby took a hit. Keep your spirits up.
Glad everyone is okay and they you coach is usable and didn’t need to be towed.
Two words: dash cam
Definitely
Sorry to see the damage to the coach. I know it's terribly disappointing. If you happen to still be in Savannah and you have a couple hours, go to The Mighty Eighth WWII Museum located just off I-95. A must see for anyone who has any interest in WWII history.
Sending Love. ❤️
So sorry to hear this, but thank God you’re both okay. 👍
Thanks Allyson
Cool video as always both you do a great job making your videos on your channel
Sorry to hear about the damage, hopefully you will never see the repairs. Glad you remained calm and enjoy your journey.
Thanks John! We’re confident NIRVC will do a great job.
