Re: Twisted Frame around slide out.

As I started to pull out from under the camper it stuck between the wheel wells and I began dragging the camper through the dirt. I managed to get back under the camper.
I bent all of the jacks and apparently the aluminum frame that holds the slide. Instead of a rectangular opening it is now a parallelogram and the slide won't go out properly. Does anyone know if this is fixable or have I just totaled out my camper? Opinions?

    I would call your insurance company after all it was an accident,for sure it would have to go back to the factory for those kind of repairs.

    Wow...sorry to hear about that.

    How badly are the jacks bent? Some parts might be replacable.

    Photos would be good.

    Short answer: yes.




    Longer response, dude, that sucks. Of course just about anything is 'fixable'... but is the sum of the labor/parts more than the whole?

    Can't answer that one for you. Picture(s) would help of course.

    Tough day sir...
