Worst Nightmare

The same place also had one yesterday. Having two fires is very careless.

Hi all
Been having a lovely time in irland past 2 weeks. Been down the narrowest of lanes, had to squeeze past lorries, motorhomes, in narrow high mountain passes no problem.
Driving down standard N Road lorries and coaches passing normal speed on opposite side of road, waving at fellow motorhomers not a problem. Then whilst on a long straight a line of vehicles, the last 3 a motorhome,van then motorhome are approaching, all pass bar last one. Almighty bang and there goes my full mirror everything just leaving metal bars sticking out. flip me that was loud whats happened!!
Luckily is i thought the other motorhomer had pulled in so I turned around and stopped behind motorhome and inspected damage.
Mine lost mirror a few scratches on door a couple of scuffs( poss polish out)
His lost mirror smashed quaternary light.
He was Irish man and family in hired motorhome all apologetic obviously no experience with such a large vehicle ( even so road width no excuse to hit me plenty wide enough)
Exchange insurance details, not more we could do, whats the point of ranting at him gets no where even though wanted to punch his lights out 🤪
I phoned my insurance ( what bollox) they asked did I want to claim on my insurance, no I replied it was his fault, ok then I should ring his insurance to claim, no should that not be your job to claim, well if I wanted to claim i will have to pay my excess and risk higher premiums they may try to claim back but its still on my record as claimed
WHATS THE FEKIN POINT OF HAVING INSURENCE only to pay others that claim against you not to help when you've been wronged
The only good point is that the other guy who was on here had a waking access on his hire agreement
Whats your views
Can you let me know the name of the insurance company so I can avoid doing business with them?
Thanks

Oh heck.
It's happened again.
How do I delete please 🫢
Don't worry, it's no big deal. It seems that some on here mistakenly post photos of their dinner instead of eating it.
Once posted you can't delete a post entirely but you can edit it for up to around 60 mins after posting.

This is horrible.

Our van was caught up in this. As far as we know it'relatively ok.. Storage site locked up until Fire Service investigation complete.
It's truly awful.

Reports are saying the van that caught fire was 3 days old.
Yep. Apparently a lithium battery in a brand new van. Not sure if a caravan or motorhome as our storage place caters for both.

Nope, just the one at the storage place we are in. Lots of units were totalled. Think ours might be ok, but we're waiting to get in to see. Site locked up until fire service investigations are completed.

It will be interesting to see if it's related to the battery type or not after all vehicles with any battery type catch fire if it's brand new it could be a wiring mistake shorting out and setting fire to it.
