Vango is wrecked

Unfortunately my Delica and I hit some ice on the way to work Monday and slammed into a guardrail. I was completely unharmed (thanks MMC) but I was incredibly angry as it was immediately clear Vango wasn’t going to be good. The extent of the damage is mostly appearance related but it appears the front axel may have been bent as well. I set up a gofundme to help with funding the extensive repairs. Any resources or ideas to help will be greatly appreciated, really anything to help get me through this really crappy situation. https://www.gofundme.com/6vr8jjk&rcid=r01-155046560195-1052ea918dba44f7&pc=ot_co_campmgmt_m

Out of curiosity, what kind of insurance did you have? Information around this is so anecdotal I'm really curious to hear what you have and what they're covering.

Sadly I did not have the correct insurance, they’re paying for the damaged barrier and that sounds like that’ll be it. I made a mistake when adding insurance that I didn’t pay attention too so I didn’t think to look into it.
 
Yeah, I wasn't going to say it, but if you have no financial resources and no back-up vehicle, you really need to be carrying full collision coverage. It's a tough lesson and I'm sorry bout your van. Delicausa is often parting out vehicles, but they are in Philadelphi and for parts like a door, shipping is going to be the most expensive thing. Finding one nearer to you is key.

It looks like you crushed the ATF cooler and probably some suspension parts, plus the rear lens, etc. For these smaller parts, you might locate them on ebay. If not they are widely available used on yahoo auctions japan. You could get a grouping together and ship through jauce. Good luck.
