Major flooding in Wales (1 Viewer)

[kex66]

I've just read about the major flooding in Wales overnight. The front page of the BBC News website at the moment shows a motorhome under 4 feet of water. I know we have some lively banter between RV owners and European motorhome owners but I hope no other Funsters are caught up in this.

I really feel sorry for them, what a blow. How does insurance operate in these circumstances, will they be covered? Wife just asked me, how would we stand in the same situation, and I do not know.

HPI check will show it up though. To be honest I doubt that any dealer would touch it but it might well appear on fleabay........ Caveat emptor as with any used goods.

I imagine they can tidy it up for sale, but the problems down the road when the corrosion starts in the habitation electrical systems. Let alone the structural weakness that a soaking like that must cause.

When I saw the title of this thread I was going to make a quip, but reading it my heart goes out to all those who have suffered at the hands of god and the elements :Sad:

My sister was at her static in Tywyn but it had to be abandoned. The last she saw of it, it was tilting over on one wheel, her kindle is still in it, her daughter in law's handbag is still in it with bank cards, purse etc. One of the van's on the site had been in direct line of the flow and has disappeared. It's probably on in the Irish Sea now. Sadly, her van is only 2 years old and even with an insurance payout,they can't afford another new one. :Sad:
