It's not that bad.

I am going to try a dent roller, any recommendation on brand, type, and technique to get this trailer back into factory new condition?

You might try posting your pictures on Airforums. When I clicked on the links in your post, Norton Internet Security blocked access, saying the linked locations were unsafe.

I am getting an error from photobucket so I can't see your photo's. It could be my ad blocker or something.
I have seen a suction cup take a dent out of an Airstream and it worked relatively well. Not showroom perfect. However scars means you have used it and have stories to tell around the camp fire.

The funny thing is that I can see the pictures in the thread on my end.

Oh well! Past my pay grade.

A bit of polishing compound and that'll buff right out.

Can see them all fine from mine.

And it's funny. "Buff right out" just as good.

I looked at it after work today.

The seller wants $1,500, he said he paid $1,200 for it as a project but has since changed his mind.

I think I will have to pass. I am all out of buffing compound...

I haven't yet figured out how all of that damage happened, but I am thinking a jackknife type incident....

On edit I think I am going to go with a "soft" rollover onto the awning arms.

Just a few pieces of aluminum & a dent roller! It's funny, I was just thinking recently, that we haven't seen a post like this in a while... very funny!
