So i spoke with the insurance adjuster.

The RV of course is a total loss. There isn't any walls or roof left on it, so no surprise there.

From what he was able to see of the truck, the frame is warped, the tailgate is smashed up badly and he suspects the suspension is completely shot. But he won't know the total damage until they get it to the dealership.

It's a 2016 F150 with well over a 100k miles on it, yet he has it reported as "repairable" and estimated $4,000 in damages. I asked him if he was smoking something before he came up with that figure.

Take it to ford to get fixed.screw them
@MarineBob had it towed to Ford. Sent the the insurance estimate, and the mechanic laughed. Said it wasn't happening at that price.

@PrivateHell get a couple more estimates, contact a lawyer and perhaps just a single letter will make him rethink it. I know a used car dealer who did that with an insurance company and that’s all it took. Cost him about $100 to get the letter sent.
@cherokeepatti my plan is to let Ford handle it. There is no way they will work on all that is wrong for just $4000. The insurance company will have to total it. Then I get a new one

@PrivateHell they're in the denial business. We had to go before a administrative court judge for the wifes long-term disability for cancer

@MarineBob they don’t like lawsuits though so a letter from a lawyer can get their attention really quick.
