- We Got Hit, Now What? | Real RV Life
Just as we were beginning to settle in to being back on the road and enjoying our new RV with its new modifications, the thing every RVer fears happened... someone ran into us on the road and damaged our motorhome.
In this RV life video, we talk about what happened, how it changes our travel plans and what we are doing to get the damage repaired. This is definitely not a position we wanted to find ourselves in, especially as full-time RVers. It's no fun when your house is in the shop.
UPDATE: NIRVC Atlanta did a great job repairing our rig: • Getting Our RV's Body ...
🤠 Thanks For Watching!
As Native Texans and full-time RVers, we want to road trip from the beaches of the Gulf Coast to the canyons of the Texas Panhandle, the mountains of West Texas, and everywhere in between. Texas is home to forests, rivers, lakes, caverns, hills, grassy plains, and so much more. The history, the food, the culture, the nature... We want to explore it all and share it with you!
Join us as we explore the Great State of Texas and Beyond one campground at a time because we want us all to experience life, not just live it!
Safe Travels and Happy Camping y'all!

Well, we always say every day is a new adventure. Some of those are definitely more fun than others. We're very thankful that no one was hurt and that the damage wasn't worse than it is. If you missed our video on the outside tour (before the accident), you can watch it here: czcams.com/video/p3drc3GfbAk/video.html .
OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So sorry to see this, but as Stacy says “Nobody got hurt”, that is the main thing. Maybe you can do a tour of the Atlanta NIRVC as you get fixed. Continue to keep the great attitude, so glad you’re OK.
Great idea William. Thanks!
I am so happy nobody was injured. But my heart sank when I watched this episode. Hopefully it will be repaired correctly and quickly.
Thanks Frank! It will all work out.
What a bummer! Look on the positive side, at least you didn't hit a deer doing 65 like we did. On a side note, I would also recommend getting a AUTOWOEL dash cam (I like FN8) because of the 170° field of view and it's night vision or similar. Also, I like having the rear camera as well to keep someone from saying I rolled backwards into them when stopped at red lights and such on an incline. Hopefully, NIRVC will have you fixed up and back on the road soon! *Inattentive drivers/Cell phone-texting drivers are becoming more and more dangerous by the numbers. Glad everyone is ok, but hate to see your baby like that because I know exactly how it feels. 🦺🚧🚔
Man, my heart goes out to. Seeing how good Newmar and NIRVC are with collision repairs, I'm sure they will have you good as new. That is one beautiful coach and loving the upgrades. Thankfully no one was hurt!
Thanks so much! We are confident they'll get us fixed up.
Awww, your new baby! So sorry guys! When you live in your rig that's tough!
We’re just chalking it up to a new experience.
OUCH! THAT IS A BUMMER.I FEEL FOR YOU!
Thanks
Glad everyone is ok!
That put a pit in my stomach, so I just know how much worse you all must have felt with the new rig.
You handled it well!
Thanks so much Mark. It's just one of those things.
My heart breaks for you! Hopefully everything works out well, and it could have been a lot worse. The biggest thing in a crisis is to have a plan and it sounds like you have that. We have had to reschedule this year (as well) more than plans have worked out. We are heading to Savannah (Creekside RV Resort) after the Hershey show. Safer Travels!!
Thanks so much. It will all work out. Enjoy Savannah. We'll have a video on it soon... so much to do! Safe travels!
Well you guys are taking it alot better then I would have. That's a beautiful coach. Good thing is it'll come back looking just as good as before. It's just gona be the down time. I'll bet 2 months..good luck
Thanking God you are both alright and no one else was badly hurt. Also that you are close and could get right in for repairs. I know this is a traumatic event. Take time to let your hearts heal.
1st. I’m very grateful to hear that everyone is safe and unharmed. I’m so sorry for Freedom’s injuries. I’m sure when you awake each morning you must think that you just had a bad dream. Then there’s reality. I don’t doubt for a moment that Freedom will be better than new if that’s possible! We are all here for you guys and we will definitely be going down all the repairs lanes with you both. Thank You for allowing us the opportunity to learn how all this works out. Please try and keep your smiles through this next adventure. I truly feel that sick feeling you both have. I’ve had 3 brand new coaches. Two I had custom built. The first one was hit on the way home from picking it up. God bless you all🙏🏻♥️
Oh no! So sorry that happened to you. Ours could have been much worse. All a part of life.
Oh Wow! So sorry, but very glad no one was hurt.
Oh no, so sorry to hear this and glad no one was hurt. After all your travels and for this to happen unbelievable.
My heart goes out to you and pray all goes well with the repairs. Please do keep us updated. Love y'all
🙏🏻🙏🏻. Nice that y’all put it all into perspective and are rolling with it. Blessings!!
Thanks Edward
How heartbreaking....so sorry, but so grateful you are all OK.
☹️😔so sorry your getting to share repairs with us in the future - Very thankful none of ya’ll were injured (besides your baby Freedom). Looking forward to seeing how this plays out - continued prayers for safe travels 🖖🏻😘👍🏻🙏🏻
Thanks so much
We hope that never happens to us but if it does we will handle it just like you guys. Life happens and the important thing is everyone ok. It is scary sometimes because a lot of people just don't pay attention or they are on their phones.
That’s all you can do. Things happen. Getting super upset just makes it worse.
Oh no! So glad no one was hurt! Everything will work out thankful for onsurance❣️
Unbelievable!!! My heart just sanked when I heard. Sounds like you are in good hands at NIRVC. Best of luck. I'm sure it will look awesome after the pros get finished with their repairs
IM SO SORRY ABOUT YOUR ACCIDENT. IM SO GLAD YOU GUYS ARE OK....... GLAD YOU WILL GET YOUR BRAND NEW BEAUTIFUL HOME FIXED... LOVE YOU GUYS
Sorry to hear about the new home! I'm glad nobody got hurt and y'all will be back traveling again!!
Glad you are ok. Thanks for bringing us along for the repair process as it will be educational!
You’re welcome Kim. Should be interesting.
Sorry about your rig. Praise God you weren't hurt. Hope everything goes alright. Have fun after it is fixed.
So sorry y'all have to deal with this unfortunate situation. I hope everything goes quickly as your home gets repaired. Stay safe and May God continue to bless you real good.
Oh my, so sorry for you & the others involved. Yes thank God no one was hurt🤗
Oh man, I feel your pain! Keep your chins up. Glad you're safe and I'm sure you'll coach will look like new again.
Hey Dan! Thanks so much. We're confident they'll do a great job with it.
Whoa...bummer! So glad y'all are okay, no one was hurt, and that the damage wasn't far worse! We know what a bummer it is to have to re-arrange plans unexpectedly, bu tknow there will be other adventures while you wait. Hugs and prayers!
Dang, so sorry to see that. Glad no one was hurt.
I am so sorry to see the damage to that beautiful new coach. I am super glad that no one got hurt. The RV and vehicle's can all be fixed. I hope they get you done quickly.
Sad what happened but glad it will all work out. Let’s try to keep your JBRV plan! Looking forward to our visit.
Bill & Susan
So sorry about the accident. I am glad that no one was hurt. You know I believe things happen for a reason that we are not able to see immediately. Take care and look forward to you next video
So sorry to see that happen, Chris and I are so glad nobody got hurt! It always gives you a sick feeling in your stomach. Hope to see y’all down the road soon!
Hey Chris and Chris! Hope things are good with y'all.
So glad nobody was injured. I know all about canceling reservations. On our summer trip to the Tetons, Keith developed a terrible toothache. We found out from a dentist in Jackson, Wyoming that he needed a root canal. We had to change a month's worth of plans to have all the dental work done. You just never know from one moment to the next.
So heartbreaking. I'm just glad that y'all and everyone else involved in the accident are OK. I'm sure the coach will be as good as new.
Glad you guys are ok and it wasn’t more serious. Stay well, stay safe
Thanks so much John!
Oh wow! So sorry this happened but so glad no one got hurt and everybody is fine. That sure hurts. Glad that hasn't happened to us yet with our new 2021. It really hurts the heart though! My heart goes out to you all (Star and the kitty cat Astro). Glad there was a witness also. Love your corn Iowa t-shirt also!! So glad your dealer is taking care of you!! Vogt RV has been good to us as well. Oh the cancellation of reservations I know how that goes...Definitely safe travels y'all!!
The main thing is it wasn’t worse and everyone is ok!!❤️❤️❤️
Thanks carry with y'all. Good and bad we need see all
The stress in your voices is heartbreaking. So sorry the accident happened. Take a deep breath. Prayers are headed your way with love from Houston.
Thanks so much Jeanette! ❤️
Wow! So happy no one was hurt!
Thanks Anita!
My heart sank when I saw this…happy you both are ok!! 😘
Thanks so much Kimberley.
I’m so sorry this happened to y’all. Glad everyone is ok
It definitely could have been a lot worse, Richard. Thanks!
Tom and Stacy, when I first saw the notice for your new video my heart skipped some beats. So sorry Freedom had an accident. Thankfully no one was hurt. It still puts that sinking feeling in your gut. Like you said, plans and reservations had to be canceled, changed but they can be made again once everything is back in place. Hang in there! We're vicariously living it with you as you live through life's journey.
Thanks Mary! We’re thankful no one was hurt and the damage wasn’t worse. Just another adventure.
Sorry for your luck. Wish you a quick and smooth repair
Thanks so much Kyrle!
So sorry that this happened but grateful that everyone is ok!
Thank you Cindy
So sorry about your mishap....SO GLAD YOU'RE OK....and no one else got hurt. Sounds as if you had the right people to help between the police, insurance co and others. Glad you can get it fixed soon....and get back to RV life!! Stuff happens, but you made good decisions, which created good results.... Stay well!
Thanks so much Barbara!
So sorry to hear about this. You all are handling so very well. Best of luck in a speedy fix for your rig.
Thanks so much Rick!
Oh no. Very sorry about the coach. I'm glad the both of you were not harmed. Metal can always be repaired. I am definitely seeing more drivers with little or no driving skills on the road. You can only drive so defensively. Take care and safe motoring.
Thanks YH.
Oh! No!! Geeze. What an awful thing to happen. But, your attitudes are wonderful, so things will be ok. I just hate this for you!! Glad everyone is ok! ♥️❣️🙏🏼❣️♥️
Thanks so much Judy. We're thankful it wasn't worse.
Glad you guys are fine but sorry this has happened. Stay safe
Cool video as always both you do a great job making your videos on your channel
What a bummer so glad no-one got hurt God bless
Thanks Rosemarie!
Glad everyone is OK
Thank you Vernon.
So sorry about the accident. Glad everyone is ok.
Thanks Tim. We're all fine.
I’m SO sorry. But at least you both are still good to go and you have a plan coming together. Looking back, this will be just a speed-bump in the road! Stay safe.
Praying everything goes well for you guys
Thank you Grace!
Wow. That sucks. Happened to us two weeks after owning our rig. Rving is just one adventure after another!!! Glad you guys are ok.
Love your spirit the way y’all are handling it. Yes every day is an adventure RVING or non RVING. We’re glad that y’all are Texans. God Bless y’all & God Bless Texas 👍👍👍👍
Oh my god! That beautiful paint job, I am crying for/with you on this one.
That's tough - but as everyone has already commented and said, at least no one was injured!
When you showed your New baby’s damage my heart skipped a beat 💔
I’m so so sorry for you guys. Im sure glad you were not hurt. I know it can be fixed, but the inconvenience is heartbreaking after all you guys have been through getting it all set up for the road. Blessings that god was looking after you both. Im sure it will look better than new after the repairs. Hopefully you will be back on the road soon. Safe travels guys and god bless you.
Oh guys, sorry to see this happened to your brand new rv. Glad to hear they are going to take care of you in Atlanta. Thanks for sharing. God does His work in such mysterious ways.
Sending Love. ❤️
So sorry to hear this, but thank God you’re both okay. 👍
Thanks Allyson
Y’all we were shocked at the finger nail. Glad y’all are ok. Nobody got hurt,you can fix all other. Today we came back from surf side Thur Houston. Sunday morning you would think traffic would be light. Oh no we nearly hit three times😔. On a lighter note y’all have inspired us to go ahead and upsize our airstream soon😎. Praying for you guys.
That’s a bummer, but glad no one was hurt. I hope you were able to enjoy Skidaway park. Travel safe.
I'm so sorry. Hope the other guy was insured and they get you back on the road quickly.
He was Candace.
Awe heck, heartbreak. I can feel your pain. Your new baby!!! I’m sure they’ll fix it up like new. Thanks for sharing the good and the bad. Life detours happen. Good luck.👍
Thanks so much. Things happen
So sorry to hear about your accident. We all fear it! We went to Spartan Academy this year for one week that turned into 3 weeks of living under a canopy with our 3 dogs. I also had to change reservations and even lost money. We always have to make lemonade out of lemons. I love how you keep saying that no one was hurt and it could have been worse. You will get to all of your places eventually. We wish you Godspeed in getting your pretty new baby back to new. We are on our way to NIRVC in Dallas for annual maintenance and a few repairs. I agree that knowing they are regionally available gives peace of mind. Keep smiling and doing great videos!
Oh goodness I hate it for you! But glad to hear that you both and the other drivers weren’t injured! Safe travels!
We feel so sad for y’all, but it happens. Pray and thank God no one was hurt.
We are so very sorry that happen to you guys.. Your good folks and it's hard when good folks get rained on. But like you said, it's material and no one got hurt and that's what's important. I truly believe that when something like this happens, it's actually saving you from something worst that could have happen down the road. Hopefully freedom get's repaired fast and you'll be back better then ever..
That's a good way to look at it, and we often wonder about that also. Everything typically does happen for a reason. It will all work out fine. Thanks
Oh man. I feel so sick for you guys. It's so upsetting having a brand new RV damaged. Glad the repairs are going to go better than expected.
Thanks Carol!
Awe that’s so sad your new beautiful Newmar got damaged. So glad you guys are ok and rolling with it though. We have a 2022 Dutchstar on order from the same NIRVC location you’re going to so we’re very familiar with it. Has been a great experience thus far. We live only about 30 minutes from there, and we’d enjoy meeting you guys if you’re inclined. We’ll be first time full timers when we get our Dutchstar early next year and I’ll be working from the road. We love your videos. If we don’t get to see you best of luck with the repairs and adjusting your plans!
Wish you both well.😎
Thanks Larry!
OUCH... Sorry for your pain.. Glad no one was hurt.
Love your new rigs..
Hoss😎
Thanks Hoss!
Sorry that happened to Freedom. I’m glad no one got hurt.
Thanks for sharing your stories and adventures.
Thanks Rickey
Omg so sry , but glad y’all are all safe. I guess life goes on.
It will all work out Georgeana. Thanks
I'd cried.. We can feel the heartbreak as you talk about it.. that would be me too..
OMG, Tom and Stacie, I am so sorry to see this. I know that feeling when it happens, so I can imagine how you felt. You were lucky to have cooperating people, law enforcement and a good witness. I just don't know what to say....Howard
Thanks Howard! It will be all pretty again when we see y’all next.
Mike is the best and we also purchased from NIRVC for many reasons including their locations across the country. So sorry you have to go through this, but she will be as good as new and back on the road before you know it. As you know the good far outweighs the bad in this amazing lifestyle.
Tom and Stacy, Very sorry to see your accident and glad to hear both of you are ok. Hope the repairs don't take to long and Freedom will be good as new. Best Wishes
Harry&Polly Bowers
Omg, I felt just sick when I saw this. I am so sorry that’s just awful. Glad everyone is ok 👍
Thanks so much Melinda. Not the adventure we were looking for, but it could have been a lot worse.
wow glad your both ok
Thanks Al!
Hang in there, something good always comes out from one of these situations
So sorry to hear about this and your new rig. Stay strong and with everything RVing, soon it will just be something in your rear view mirror.
Thanks William!
I'm so sorry!
you will get it fixed and life goes on
Very true Al
Love the shirt, I'm from Iowa, I've lived here all my 64 years. Another 3 years and I'll be joinin ya out there on the road. No more Iowa winters!!!!!
Thanks Ben! We love visiting Iowa. But, yes, we'll stick with non-winters. 😁 3 years will fly by. Have fun planning your new life on the road!
My prayers are with you. Looks like you are being taken care of!
Sorry about your accident. You both seem to handle it well, there's not much else you can do. God bless.
Thanks Vernon. Not much good comes from getting too upset over something you can't control.
🙂So glad Y'all are ok. This too shall pass. Bless Y'all 💚
Thank you
Wow just so glad you all or ok well glad to see the critters how r they doing for sure glad you two are ok what a pretty Jeep ok safe travels and take care
Thank you Susan. Star & Astro are fine.
Dang! that's one of those "Oh S***" moments huh? I'm glad every one is ok. I love the way you guys stay so positive on every thing and take it with a grain of salt. I hope the repair goes well for you guys and you can get back on the road. I don't know what I'd do if I couldn't watch RV Texas Y'all anymore.
Thanks Ty! We won’t let it stop us. 😁
Hope your repairs are done properly. Me and my wife have a 2019 Camry Hybrid SL and the local council (Glenroy) bumped into our car while it was parked causing $1000.00 worth of damage (this year 2021). So I kinda know how you feel.
Yikes! Sorry that happened Gregory.
Oh no, not the new bus 😳 I am so sorry glad you and Tom were not hurt. Well you certainly have had quite the summer and I guess this will just continue. Be safe y’all ❤️
It has definitely been a summer we'll remember Brett. 😂
So sorry your new baby took a hit. Keep your spirits up.
WOW So sorry to see/hear about this. I know they will do a great job for you at NIRVC. They did on my little RV.
We have full confidence in them
So sorry that this happened, but at least you guys are OK and Freedom can be fixed...
Thanks Neil! Very true.
So sorry guys! And so glad no one got hurt and it wasn’t any worse! I know how things can change your plans for sure, we just spent 3 months traveling across the US that had to be changed up quite a few times due to circumstances. It was supposed to be our big Alaska trip we had been planning for two years, but of course the border never opened in time for us to go so we changed it. Then once we got out west all the wild fires changed our plans several times, we had to leave a few areas early because of the fires, actually drove through the fires 3 different times. Then our soft start went out on our solar so our ac didn’t work if we weren’t hooked up to shore and with two big dogs that put a huge damper on what we could do with it being so hot out west this year.
Ended up just giving up and coming home 3 weeks early. Hoping for the best with your situation and look forward to seeing you all soon! God Bless.
Hey Jennifer! So sorry to hear about your trip. That's a real bummer that you couldn't get to Alaska this year, and then to have the fires and the soft start issues too. Not the summer y'all planned for either. Glad you made it home safely.
Oh, no... That sucks!!!
Yes it does.
