Sidebar (continued):
So - I ended up making a little aluminum patch to repair the exterior of the corner, and made some skid plates underneath to keep it from happening again.
Then the fun started:
1st trip: Bradenton, Florida. A lady was not paying attention and ran into the back of the trailer while I was stopped at a toll booth. A piece of polished aluminum diamond plate covered that up.
Trip #2: Alabama. Caught a hail storm there. Managed to get the car in the trailer, and the Suburban under covered parking, but the roof, rear door and LH side of the trailer took a beating.
Tool box slides around inside and dings up the passenger door? Looks like a good place for a Flowmaster sticker.
Mowing and kick a rock into the side of the trailer sitting about 40 yards away? How about a vent cover goes there...
Blown tire wipes out the side? Time for a new fender and replace one piece of black aluminum panel.
This has got to stop. I'm running out of creative ideas to cover up the damage!
(lol)
