A couple of weeks ago I ran over a 2x6 that penetrated the sheet metal on the back of the trailer. After exploring many options I put in a new switch and circuit breaker and did my back yard body work. I added a 12 x 12 diamond plate piece of aluminum and it looks fine!Before: After:

A picture like that just makes me want to cry. But glad you found a very reasonable solution to your boo-boo. Nice repair job.

Nice job. Thanks for sharing. :C

Ouch, but a nice recovery! Well done.

It doesn't have to be perfect, it just needs to look perfect. Nice job!

Nice recovery.

What does the switch and circuit breaker "add". What function?

When the 2 x 6 went through the side it wiped out the electric control for the stabilizers. It wasn't too hard getting the parts and installing them

Fortunately didn't hit where slide out is.

Good job.

Stay away from those errant boards......'Yard Gator' :B

We were very lucky that it missed the slide out! We have a big trip to Alaska in a couple of weeks!!
