Ding repair

Can anyone help me get an idea of how to repair a ding in the right rear corner of a 2015 16' bambi sport?

I have a attached a picture.

Thank You!

John

Take it to Jackson Center with a check for at least 2 grand or just ignore it and call it a battle wound.

Ouch, that's unfortunate! The edge of 2 panels is bent and stretched but I can't tell if the band is bent also. If it was me, I'd call it a "post production design change" and live with it. If there is access behind the dents you could make them less but probably not make them completely gone. You might consult some paintless dent repair professionals but it's just a bad situation with the compound curves. Airstream would probably say replace the panels.

I have almost the same ding courtesy of the PO. JC took a look at it and quoted me $2700 plus (depending what they found after removing the offending panels) to repair. I am happily living with it as is.

To repair properly, they have to replace the two outside panels, jus got mine done at Jackson Center for 8k. They have to take the cabinets, toilet to get it done to factory spec. They have to replace some of the ribs
