Rented motorhome destroyed by hail in Italy: tourist and daughter stranded for 4 days
Original source: RTL Info

Tennis-ball-sized hail shattered the windshield, windows and body of Nicolas’s rented motorhome during a trip in Italy. Insurer Touring initially refused coverage for natural damage but reopened the case 14 hours later. A tow truck moved them to a scrapyard 30 km away, where they spent the night. They missed their flight from Bologna by 10 minutes. Evasion Motorhome arranged repatriation as a goodwill gesture after 4 days.

The municipality of Scarperia e San Piero (Tuscany) has two equipped motorhome areas. In San Piero a Sieve, a large parking lot with water and waste disposal is available, but some vehicles are used as makeshift shelters.
