    Lesson learned- do not park trailer in unlit area at night

    Next parking spot over had a giant gooseneck flat cargo trailer and a metal bar sticking 5ft high towards my spot... but it was painted black in the pitch dark....

    Luckily, damage seems to be exterior and insulation only. No wires or pipes or structure.

    Not sure best way to get properly fixed. Water proof taped for now.Click image for larger version.

    Looks to me like you need to take it to a good bodyshop that specializes in fibreglass, boat or RV repair.

    Oh man that hurts to look at, I would be sick if that happened to me. As stated I would be looking for a boat shop or fiberglass repair facility, thankfully it doesn't look like it went too deep. Good luck to you sir!

    Damn, that is a tough one. A decent fiberglass shop can have that fixed in a day.

    Before taking it to the RV shop, you could try buffing it out !!!

    Don't feel too bad. It happens.

    While we were camp ground hosting in Montana summer 2019, this fella got too close to the booth and caught one of our yellow posts near the booth and opened up his TT like a zipper. They took pictures, sent to insurance adjuster who totaled it on the spot. Then they rented a Uhaul, got all their belongings out the next day, and went home. A tow truck took the TT to the scrap yard.
