Watch those trees

A different slide issue.

A friend of ours with a Jayco Seneca was camping in Northern California. This morning I got a text telling me that at 2:15 am while he and his wife were sleeping the wind picked up to around 25 mph and as a result a tree limb drove off a tree falling into his coach tearing the slide topper and damaging the top of their slide.

BTW, it happens to be the Schwintek slide although this can’t be blamed on LCI.

Ouch! Sounds like your friends are hopefully ok.
We were in campground when massive oak branch broke off and landed in the site next to ours. Site was vacated about 1/2 hour before T storm blew through. We shuddered to think if the site would have been occupied anyone underneath would have been crushed

They are ok but the trip coming to an early conclusion to deal with insurance adjusters.

Here’s a couple pics he sent me. These were taken from the roof.
