I should have added that Progressive paid every dime of the replacement cost, with no noticeable increase in my premiums.

Unfortunately, salvage yards are usually hesitant to pull windshields due to the high incidence of breakage. New may be your best option. $600 plus shipping doesn't sound bad at all. The new windshields for our 2001 GBM Landau were $3700 each side installed.

We've stayed at a number of parks over the years where local eateries would deliver meals to our site. Then there's been others like the Jonestown, PA KOA that has a store and deli on site that delivers meals like fried chicken, steak fries, etc. to your door.
