Well, found out there's more damage then they let on. Went and took some pictures on Sunday, just to cover my butt!! Frame appears to be just fine ... I think! I would imagine it would take more than a drop like this to hurt it ???
The truck was hooked up at an angle ,,,
The back corner of the truck side rail broke thru the fiberglass cap on the drivers side and took out a piece of horizontal aluminum framing inside. It's not a structural piece ... but still hurts lookin' at it.
Then all three panels on the underside will need to be replaced. This is where the other side rail hit and took most of the weight of the trailer.
As far as I can tell, nothing inside the fiver was damaged ... slides work fine, etc.
Trying to figure out what my options are here. Parts for repair are about 4 weeks out and I have a trip planned the first week of April! Dealer said they can temporarily patch it up, but it will look like******... and I don't want to do any further damage.
I'm just a little "tee'd" off here. !! :M
