I am interested to see how this comes out.

 

I have to assume any type of trailer construction is going to suffer in a hail storm with a certain size hail stone.

Concur...  100%.  I'm thinking the size of hail stone that causes damage to an Ollie is the key issue - just gut feel..., but its probably going to be a fairly large one to damage the OTT hull; larger than the marble-size that took out our friend's 2022 AS.

So… I had a hail storm blow over me, while parked at my volunteer station here in the middle of ND. Thankfully, the hail was minuscule here at the hatchery (golf ball size, down the road.) 


I just realized this poll asks for input “if you have experienced hail damage”, and since I didn’t have damage, I haven’t answered any of the questions.

And, then, there was this. Hail storm in a town in Germany,  that left a foot (!) of hail on the ground. 

In August!
