Skin repair
Wish I didn't have to ask this question, but I managed to back my 30' into a small bush that seems to have been made up of steel branches. So I put two long (18 inch) dents in the back right panel of my brand new trailer. (Insert jokes here).

Any advice on repair or replacement? Can I do it myself or is is really specialized?

Pics? Some can be "worked". Some are less than workable.

Hi Gary,

Ouch!

Do you have insurance on the trailer? Getting them to cover it might be the best option.
