I left my coach for a week while I went to a wedding...only to come back to reports of 45 MPH nickle size hail. According to the camp host where I was parked, the wind was blowing the hail horizontally. Doesn't look like any damage to the roof, but the passenger side of the coach has lots of little microfractures in the paint, and several dings in the aluminum bay doors (I stopped counting at 20 on one door). The whole side of the coach got pounded in the same way. I know that dings in fiberglass can lead to delamination over time because of compression (then expansion) beneath...so off to the shop I go for an inspection.

Does anybody have experience with this?
