75realsteel wrote on Mon, 14 April 2014 09:44 | While enjoying the first trip of the year - to Muskegon State Park in MI - we were met with disaster as unexpected tornadoes moved into the region and felled a 50 foot white pine - directly on top of us. Fortunately, we only had minor injuries due to the limbs that came down with the tree. But, our '75 Eleganza did not fare so well.

I've uploaded some pictures here. I'm afraid the vehicle is totaled, but would appreciate any other feedback/advice regarding what we can do with it at this point other than have it towed to the salvage yard.
We unfortunately only had liability coverage on it as we were waiting to complete our rehab before getting it fully assessed - big mistake.
We've salvaged the new refrigerator, oven, awning and batteries, but we lack the means to salvage the generator, engine/trans, new Dave Lenzi knuckles, etc.
We'd definitely appreciate any suggestions for what we can possibly due to salvage anything at this point.
We definitely want to get back on the road someday - and hopefully in something as fine as our beloved '75.
The vehicle still sits at the Muskegon State Park campground as I work out what to do next.
Appreciate any suggestions via this thread or PM -

Personally I wouldn't give up on it yet. The front cap and windshield are easily replaceable. The rest of the roof can either be pushed back up or replaced as well. It may not be financialy practical. but I hate to see a coach go to salvage status that easily!
