I hit one of THEM in a supermarket lot with a 75 Chev Van..... was backing up and swung the wheel to turn into a parking spot....pole was below the mirror - couldn't see it and WHAM. Caught the driver's side front fender. Stayed crunched for 3 years!

Yep that one, The boss asked me what I thought, I told him
a gallon of gas and a match.
Trailer is only costs about 15K or less. Totalled to me.
He called the manufactor about a complete side for it.

What year is the trailer? Isn't he covered by insurance? Do you know the cost of parts??

Who WOULD you fix it for? And how?

New 07 08

I could repair it but I'm not telling him that.
I'd fix it on the side here.
Don't know what shipping would be. One of the
Pop up roofs is about 1200 bucks I think.
He wants to do it that way because then it's
a bolt together and they can handle it but I don't
think the insurance company would agree.
That's the problem, only a handful of places do the
bodywork
