I need advice on my totalled yet still beautiful baby.

I've been suggesting that the OP cover it for days. They completely reject the idea for some reason. I've even been chastised and told that I am preaching to myself by others. I even suggested that her insurance may find it "failure to maintan". All to no avail.

Yup, I've been following along.
Part of the problem, as I see it, is that the OP is way out of her realm with what's transpired, has a huge emotional attachment, and is relying on the first trusted person to lead her along. A person like this only gets part of the information that's shared and has a hard time knowing what they're hearing. It's not an indictment, it's just because we all have different skill sets. There may also be things in the background of which we're not aware. Granted, the trailer shouldn't be moved anymore than is absolutely necessary but there is little to lose moving it across the yard. The pin box could be braced while backing it into the barn so that any calamity is deterred. I'm just about done here.
