Delivery Day. After getting pushed back a month, it was finally time.
There were three damaged areas on the box. We caught two of them. (Cue ominous music...) The one we missed is in this picture. Can you spot it?
We checked out the two obvious areas of outer damage and found no internal damage. So we packed her back up until the guys had finished the electrical and lighting installation. As the day wound down Friday the electricians left and friends showed up. It was time.
As I opened up this end of the box and took out the first layer of boxes I looked down and went "Oh shit...."
I filed a claim with the shipper YRC Freight who denied it. Their position is that since the damage was not found on delivery it's not their fault.
Once the shock wore off we jumped in and unpacked the rest.

| During shipping a fork had struck the crate, which then impacted the box of tires, which then impacted the hull. |
