Maeve is whole again!
It has been 4 mos, numerous discussions with adjusters and insurance personnel, shipping delays, and repairing and replacement of damaged parts and structure, but she is back on her feet, weather-tight, and all systems functioning.
This challenge definitely reinforced my appreciation for the time and effort the Mothership puts into all their LD builds.  Todd was exceptional and patient when answering my questions and offering tips and advice for the rebuild.  He called and informed me of the delay in shipping even though we were monitoring it's movement also. That alone speaks volumes to me about the company.
This is something I don't want to do again but I now have more insight on my coach and her build quality.  She will get her paint in the early spring.

All in, she needed interior repair to the bathroom wall and lower shelf and cabinet, realignment of the bathroom/kitchen wall (deflected inward approximately 1-2 inches), repair to the lower kitchen cabinet and flooring (All this damage was from the impact from the 18-wheeler on the DS).
 On the exterior she needed one arm replaced on the after-market awning (installed by a previous owner) on the passenger side. On the driver's side she needed; an LP fuel tank, three aluminum body panels, a new dinette window, a fiberglass lower panel and replacement compartment door for the LP tank, a front abs plastic corner, a new exterior work light, rebuilding/replacement of damaged outer wall structure (from accident and discovered water damage) also replaced some insulation in the damaged wall area. 
My wife and I did all the interior and exterior repairs and upgrades, definitely not an easy task, but worth it.

Wow, your repair job looks great!  Is LD going to do the paint in the springtime, or another facility?  RonB

It will be done locally, we are on the opposite coast from the Mothership.

If you have the time, could you post pictures of the interior repairs?  And by chance, did you make a video of any part of this immense project?  Art & Bonny ... well done to say the least.

Footnote:  If my memory is correct, your LD was crushed by an 18 wheeler manic driver.  Is that correct?  And if so, you might find that post and insert it into this update.
