Anybody done this.....sigh....aargh

Well, my BIL graciously has let us borrow his trailer if we store it for him (he was paying for it where he lives)
We met half way today and I brought it home.
All was well until I backed it in.
Ended up catching the un-used basketball hoop which bent the ladder and pushed it into the back wall......I couldn't believe it....just about broke down.

Have an inquiry into the a branch of the dealership he bought it from, but wondering if there are any other options?
Not sure if it'd be a complete rear wall replacement, or???

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Mike....still in shock

  • A good fiberglass man can make this like new...I have a friend that has crashed his rear panel on his motorhome twice (separate occasions)and both time it was repaired and looked like new..
  • Exactly why I never let anyone use my motorhome. If I mess up I hate myself but if anyone else even scratched it I would probably go bananas. Hopefully your BIL is more understanding.
  • Sorry to hear about that. It happens to the best of us. I'm sure you already know this, but it will take the complete rear panel to make a proper repair. If that was my trailer, that's the only repair I'd accept, and it won't be cheap. I'm assuming no one got hurt, which is the most important thing
