Hi,
I received an awful lot of damage on our recent trip to our car we were towing. Estimates are between $4300 to $5300 in order to bring the car (with under 7,000 miles on it) back into shape. Apparently the flap on the motorhome was improperly installed and hung low enough to pick up rocks. I also had air bags that were not properly inflated half the trip, which might have caused part of the problem.
I've talked with the body shop mechanic who owns a class A motorhome as well, and he mentioned that car covers can rub the paint off the car so you don't always win by having a car bra or cover. I am aware of the car shield products (and the like) but what is the answer to protecting your tow car so you don't have another claim on your insurance? Wondering if they will drop me after this claim.
How do others handle this who tow a car? I expected some minor damage but there are at least 5,000 or more pits in the car front, bumper, mirrors and windshield. Many thanks for your thoughts.
