LONE-STAR 370 Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 OK we have a up coming trip to the fort we have already made our fast passes. Well today I found out they are going to total our rv (which is unexpected ) I thought it could be fixed. So my question is if I cancel my fort reservation and book a new reservation at Port Orleans riverside will we lose our fast passes? I don't want to lose Slinky dog and Flight of passage.

An additional cost I know but wanted to be sure you were aware that it was an option. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Riverside has/had pet friendly buildings. I know they were going to stop taking pets, but were honoring reservations made before a certain date. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LONE-STAR 370 Posted July 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 Thanks for all the replys. Everybody is fine. It is actually a tire blow out that did interior damage on top of the outside damage. And since it knocked a couple of walls lose there afraid there is structural damage and they decided it would be better to just total it. I was shocked at first but the more I thought about it they are probably right. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DaveInTN 3,247 Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 Glad you all made it through the blowout without injury. Those things can go wrong quickly, but I'm sure having an adequate tow vehicle plus experience on your part made the difference. It does give you some insights into how most rv's are constructed though, that a simple tire blowout has resulted in the totaling of the entire thing. That's amazing.

I am not even sure if I will buy another one at this point. This was our 3rd trailer since 2002 and I am not sure I want to do it again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We were incredibly lucky that aside from ripping off a piece of trim, it didn't damage anything else. It was on the passenger's side, but there were still wires and whatnot close by that it could have destroyed. On 7/21/2018 at 10:56 PM, LONE-STAR said: I know.

I can see it out my window right now. 🙂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When making the repairs I saw just how poorly constructed it is. On 7/21/2018 at 9:34 PM, LONE-STAR said: I know it's crazy. I am not even sure if I will buy another one at this point.

Especially when we go on a vacation without it and it ends up sitting for an extended amount of time. WBI Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LONE-STAR 370 Posted July 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 We have always tried to make our vacation include the camper or at least I did. They gave me the salvage numbers today and it's not worth it. So now we have to clean it out and be camper less. It's hard to believe we won't have one. We could buy another one but at this point I think we will try life with out one and see what it's like. Who knows maybe it will be fun to unpack a suitcase then set down with a cold beer and look at the good job I did hanging up clothes. That just doesn't sound right.

ImDownWithDisney 342 Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 A few years ago I talked the wife into a quick trip staying at All Stars. She always get grossed out in hotels. Dragging our bags we walked past a room with 3 big Honda generators outside and huge power cables running into the sealed up door. They were treating for bed bugs. She wasn't happy lol and immediately disassembled our room looking for bed bugs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
