I think it's far from totalled, but I could be wrong[/QUOTE]

Looks like hood, light, fender, bumper...
Possible: Tie rod, half shaft, wheel, control arm.. etc etc. Can't see so well since the wheel is up against the rv.
Did you get ticketed then? My brother had the same thing happen but he slammed into the back of the car infront of him and they wrote my brother the ticket for falling to close and speeding.

Count your blessings that no one was hurt, and that they didn't give you a handful of tickets as to pay on top of your deductible.

Your damage doesn't appear to be near the airbag sensors, and the airbags won't deploy if your speed at time of impact is less than 39 mph. (for most vehicles its 39, diff vehicles and manufactures have different specs, but 39 is an average #)
Airbags are meant to save someone's head/appendages/body from going through the steering wheel, not to have a soft landing for a little bump'n' rubbin.
