Managed to screw up new camper

Chances are I'd live with that little but of damage. I know its new and you don't want to have to deal with something like this right off the bat (like scratching a new car), but hey, it'll pale in comparison to what the damage of a blown tire or piece of road debris can cause. Unless it can be fixed for free or without inconvenience, I'd leave it alone.

The previous owner of our 5er hit the front hatch door (beneath the nose) with something and knocked a hole in it. Their fix was to screw a giant piece of aluminum diamond plate over it (rounded and fit, of course). Got to say that it actually looks pretty good.

That is a beautiful driveway, and sorry about your camper, but the pin box looks like it can only be lowered one bolt hole. You might have to raise your hitch in the truck just a little.

From the damage I can see, it should be an easy repair. I don't see a need for a temporary patch.

More important, need to make sure it cannot happen again. When you are hitched up to the truck, how much clearance is there between the bed rails and bottom of the camper? Conventional wisdom says you should have at least 6". Mine has about 7". Now you know why first hand. Yes, you can adjust that pinbox lower to improve the clearance. Question then is, how far out of level will the camper be when towing? A little high in front is okay, but you want to be fairly level when towing.

Your driveway does not appear to be all that steep. You will see that sort of terrain at any given time.
