If you can, definitely take it to Jackson Center. You or no one will be able to tell it was repaired.
If u plan to sell your unit down the road you will b glad you had it repaired to original condition.
My 2 cents.

Boy, do I have egg on my face. I was looking at a pic I took of our 27 the day we picked it up in April 2016...the crease was there! I had just never noticed it (and I'm usually pretty picky about that sort of thing.)

So I'll live with it, since I have for 2 1/2 years.

Nice meeting you in our common storage facility today, Bet you did not feel so bad when we walked over to my new trailer and saw the same crease not as deep or as long but it is there,

Im headed to Jackson this April for the entrance door which is out of alignment. Im hoping they can heat it and pull it out. For the time being I have some small bumpers and will use Bob’s idea of a noodle to prevent further.

What were they thinking? Ya had to open them up you would figure they would engineer clearance to protect the panel skin.

Same here. Yes, one would think that the company would put some kind of stop on the curved rock guards to prevent that.

The creases on our trailer might bother me if it was brand new or I had noticed before reading this thread. When we sell the trailer some day I'm pretty sure it will have more easily noticeable defects from enjoying it for years!
