MH Sideswiped/Suggestions Please.

While watching television last night we suddenly heard two very loud crash type sounds from the street in front of our home, where our MH is parked.
So I get outside and see a car has run head on into another that was parked with the car that was traveling now sitting on the sidewalk, unoccupied. The car that got hit now about 3' out in the street.
Now the worst part- I go out into the street and sure enough our MH got sideswiped by the car before it hit the other parked car which stopped it.
There are car parts scattered all under & around our MH that match the unoccupied car now sitting on the sidewalk.
It was loud enough that every neighbor, except the one that owns the unoccupied vehicle, are now outside to see what's going on.
Police arrive, make out necessary reports, and tell me to contact my ins. co. for follow up.
This leaves me with a couple questions I hope forum members that have had something similar happen will chime in before I start talking to the ins. co. so I can be somewhat prepared to negotiate.

1. Can I insist that our MH be repaired by only a Dealer or AS Specialist such as Andy at Inland?
2. By looking at attached photo's does this look repairable or do I have the right to insist the panel be changed, how about the skin damage?
Are these parts even available anymore?
3. If I have a choice and decide to go out of state for repairs should transport costs be covered?
4. I do have full coverage but at this point I dont know what type of coverage the responsible party has.
