Last December we sustained some damage. Fortunately, it was nothing that would prevent the coach from being driven. It was the first month of a four month trip, so I called the insurance company to initiate the claim and asked if it was possible to delay the adjustment and repair process until we got home. They said it was no problem. They gave me a claim number and said to call back when we were ready.

When we returned home in April, the adjuster came out and got the ball rolling. It did take about 8 weeks for the body work and paint to be done and most of that time was waiting for a windshield (the first one didn't fit), but I was in no hurry.

Just a thought: I don't know if your rig was driveable with the damage, but if it was, perhaps you could have waited until the part(s) were in to take it into the shop and not cancelled your trips.
