A tree CRASHED onto the ROOF of our NEW RV! But we were SO lucky!

[@MaryWehmeier]

Your propane safety valves really showed how important they are. Grateful you’re safe. It’s amazing how much the solar panels saved the roof.

[@debbizill9835]

So glad you both are okay. Sorry about the damage and having to go through that. 🫂🫂

[@Hundert1]

Do most all travel trailers with the dual tanks come standard with that safety valve feature?

[@kc8bdr]

@@Hundert1 The safety valve is part of the propane tank and all propane tanks that can be transported full will have that safety valve.

[@Hundert1]

@kc8bdr That's great to hear!! Thank you 👍🏻👍🏻

[@suemoore7779]

So glad you are both safe. ❤

[@sharonpowell6559]

So sorry you experienced such a traumatic ordeal with the storm. I’m happy to hear only minimum damage too. Thankful you both are ok as well as your cousin. Safe travels

[@fpointla1]

so glad you're OK .... the trees falling in the same direction gave me Hurricane Katrina flashbacks .... the power of nature is phenomenal

[@geraldsouthard7092]

So glad that you two, and your cousins were not physically harmed. The mental side of trauma will remain a bit longer. But you have each other to help you get through that too. Safe travels.

[@sleahy4082]

Wow! The power of nature is truly stunning. The Tardis did not, however take you over the rainbow. Glad you both are safe. Take care and stay well.

[@HumbleRoad]

Sounds like you both maintained presence of mind and did everything correctly. Hard to believe, but your Guardian Angels had your backs! Whew! Godspeed.

[@MortonsontheMove]

So scary!! So incredibly grateful you guys are OK! 😓What a freak incident. Big hugs and feel free to come back to our place if you need help with repairs! 💛

[@daveanderson4000]

Sue and I are grateful that no one was injured and your new RV wasn’t severely damaged. I have always liked the UV protection that solar panels provide to our roof, now I know they can do even more.

Glad you are safe. RV camping- The Extreme Edition

[@wildbilt]

To witness the raw unleashed power of Mother Nature from a well built but let’s face it; doesn’t stand a chance RV-is a moment that will be an indelible memory. Continue to live the good life, say your prayers, and we’ll look forward to updates on the relatively minor repairs.

[@dakat1726]

Even when you're both rattled by a big event- you're still more composed than most of us. Glad you're okay!

[@RonInAVan]

The main thing is that you two are safe!! The RV can be replaced. This same thing happened to us when we were in a T/ trails On the Oregon Coast in our diesel pusher RV, when we woke up all the trees around us was fallen on top of other RVs but somehow our Rv was unharmed, but we was boxed in and couldn’t leave until crews came out to remove the trees. We was so lucky. Wishing you guys all the best getting your Rv back in shape.

[@rexg1960]

WOW! Everything can be replaced except for your lives. Glad you're both okay!

Very blessed to have survived. Thank you for the video. Blessings to you.

[@ronjacobs6685]

Glad no one was hurt and the damage seems minor compared to what it could of been. Safe travels and good luck with the repairs.

[@johninYVR]

Until this week every single RV that I know the owners have had at least one little nick or scratch. That includes me and, like most owners, I found the first visible damage is disheartening. Especially since it usually involves maneuvering slowly near trees and bushes. I always figured that the RVgeeks would have a gas station other-driver incident or a 'desert sandblasting' incident, but NOT a tree scratch as their first visible damage incident. I'm glad for a few thing in this story: 1. Nobody got injured, 2. Most of the damage is somewhat minor and easily repairable, 3. Peter and John can breathe easier now that the 'first scratch' event is history. Good video of the aftermath. Hope all the family and the neighbours are doing okay. John

[@BobCarolynThompson]

I am sure having a plywood walk on roof helped to keep those panels from flying away. So glad you just have minor repairs to be done and you are both safe.

So glad you're OK, guys. 👍🏾

Good lesson for the rest of us - to get away from trees when a strong storm is coming. It's amazing how small is the root ball on these huge Oak trees.

[@dennisbutler349]

Glad you guys are okay and posting videos again. We have full-timed for 2.5 years and spent May in the OKC area for several family-related events. We sheltered three times during our stay, the first time we have ever sheltered while RVing. It was not a relaxing month because we were constantly weather watching. Slides in or slides out? Where can we park the tow vehicle to avoide hail damage. The list goes on. We left unscathed at the end of the month. Safe travels.

[@fredfromboston812]

WOW!!! What a massive event but I am glad that you guys are OK and “weathered the storm” OK. As bad as it was it looks like you had someone up above keeping an eye on you and just moved those limbs by a few feet in your favor. Looks like you will have a lot more content than you really bargained for. Glad to see that you are OK and that your rig survived a major storm. God speed on your way home.

[@WilHershberger]

So glad that you are both safe. Certainly a scary ordeal. We were through a similar experience in Westmoreland Kansas. On April 30th when an F3 tornado went through just 100 or so meters from our Dutch Star. Unfortunately, there were three other RVs in the campground closer to the path. They weee all destroyed. Fortunately, we only suffered paint damage. Lots of deep nicks from flying stones and house debris. We were in shock for days. We had heard the tornado siren sound for about 30 seconds then it stopped. When we open the coach door the tornado was literally right there. We jumped in our truck and took off so we were out of the danger zone. What a terrible experience. And the real kicker is that we had been to see the Wizard of Oz museum that morning. Stay safe.

[@RVgeeks]

How terrible! But you can't make up the fact that you'd been to that museum that very day!

[@PacificLockCompany]

Wow, that’s so scary. The whole crew over here is very happy to hear you and the family are unharmed! We wish you better luck as your travels continue ~ stay safe!!

[@RVgeeks]

Thanks so much! And thanks for providing such great theft protection for our trailer. Do you happen to make anything that protects from wind, too? 😁

[@PacificLockCompany]

@@RVgeeks We admit, that's one we didn't see coming! I'll talk to the team about getting a full RV "force field" into production! Keyed-alike, of course! 😆

We have been through similar situations with hurricanes and tornadoes. Fortunately we only had severe rocking of our TT. Very pleased the two of you are okay and only had minor damage. Would love to know who you have for insurance and how your insurance company handles your claims.

[@laurieb9638]

I’m glad you’re both okay and the rig is still intact. It sounds like you experienced a microburst or derecho because the trees all fell in the same direction. I’m sure you’re relieved. Good luck to you and your cousins.

Having gone through hurricanes in Florida, we can relate. Out neighbor's roof landed on our roof in the middle of the night. We understand exactly what you mean by all the debris. Glad everyone is OK and the rig did a well as it did. Good luck getting everything repaired. Maybe I need a few more panels. 🙂

[@jenfugit7801]

Glad you are both safe! Living in Nebraska, this year especially, we have had quite the number of heavy and scary storms. As for being in my RV during similar events, I have been lucky enough to be at my daughter's house (and inside when things get too rough). My one and only Boondocker's Welcome experience was in Kansas and I was so thankful for my hosts who texted me, "You better come inside now!" and kept me and the doggo safe and sane through the storm.

[@karinwest919]

Glad to see that you two survived this without any injury ! Henceforth the panels shall be called IMPACT PANELS! As you said, better the panels than the structure of the RV, just stinks with a brand new rig. This spring has been quite violent all over the Midwest and into the South. We had a large tree uprooted in a short but very intense wind burst and fell on our RV shed, damaging the roof a couple of week ago. Hope you will recoup from this scary experience quickly!

[@Hundert1]

So sorry about your brand new RV. Grateful no one was hurt and damages weren't much. I love the idea of camping in a huge forest but so fearful and aware of the inevitable. The bigger the tree the more likely it's gonna fall and the greater the damages. Trees have killed people. Trees go up, and trees definitely will come down. We never think this will happen, but it is always possible. Now I'm even more going to try my very best to never camp near or under huge trees that possibly could reach my tent or trailer. I think there are many campgrounds that have their sites directly under huge trees. The height and size of the trees makes all the difference. Best wishes for a full recovery and summer season. 🙏🏼

[@artboudreau]

Thankfully, you and your family are okay. 🙏

[@JonTanOsb]

Wow, guys! I'm glad the damage is fixable. I know your channel isn't into click-bait, so I knew I'd see the real deal. Lots of KZbin content to follow. At least you don't have to worry about "the first scratch" anymore. I'll bet the next time you see a tornado warning, you'll go to a big parking lot, away from anything that can hit you. :) Cheers.

[@livinginavwvan207]

We've had some good thunder storms here so far, I am just over the border at an RV park in southern Ontario, thankfully with no large trees around. The storms come with the wild humidity we've been getting, but it goes away as summer moves along. I dont know if you guys are coming back through Canada but there is a nice RV park just outside of Sarnia "countryview motel and rv park" and its much better than it sounds. Driving range on site and overnighter spots back onto a farmers field, I liked it.
