Subject:t-boned!

this past weekend my baby (an 85 camper) was t-boned by a drunken hit and
run driver....luckily we ran for 5 blocks and got his license plate number.
anyways, tomorrow the adjuster is coming to look at the damage.  i was
amazed at how little damage there was for getting drilled at about 35 mph.
anyways, my question is this:  what possible damage, aside from the obvious
cosmetics to the body, could have occured and how should i look for it?
the car hit the drivers side dead on at the rear wheel.  it doesn't appear
to have done any structural damage, but i would hate to settle now and find
out down the road that something worse had happened.  i did drive it away
and it seemed to handle normally, but could the propane tank/lines, wheel,
tire, frame, engine, or anything else been damaged in the collision?  i
would appreciate any advice on this, it's my first accident.

sad, depressed, and praying that his insurance is valid,
kurt

PS: the guy was arrested for DUI.
