Anything can be built. The question will be the cost of repair.

Contact Forest River. They will advise on whether it can be repaired or should be replaced. I am not familiar with the 195's roof. The one-piece fiberglass roof on our 179 had to be replaced after our accident (close encounter of the wrong kind with a bridge rail when we hit ice with a strong cross-wind). I'm sorry this happened to you and hope that you can get it repaired quickly and get back to camping.

So...i keeping with our new motto, which is:

"Nothing good happens when you set up camp in the dark"

I scraped the 195's driver-side roof on a rather robust low-hanging branch at the Holbrook, AZ KOA last Friday evening.  Scrape is about 8-10 ft long.

Dealer wants to replace the rubber roof.  Here's a pic of perhaps the worst portion of the damage...repairable?
