What a bummer, I hate when stuff like this happens. I like to keep my stuff nice. Still waiting for my first moment with our camper. It's sure to come.

Man I know how you feel. I"m glad the damage is only cosmetic.
I had a huge "duh" moment a couple of months ago when I ripped the ladder out of the roof because it snagged on a tree branch as I pulled out of my spot. I posted all the details when it happened.
Don't beat your self up to much and roll on!

First Damage

Well dang it.

First time we have done some damage to the camper.

Scratch that. First time I have done some damage.

I had the weight distribution bars leaned up against the camper. Working to level it, I had to lower the camper quite a bit due to an uneven site.

When lowering, I didn't realize the camper was binding against the weight distribution bar wedged against it. I heard a loud pop and noticed the damage after it forcefully unwedged itself.

Got a nice little dent and deformation of the diamond plate.

Kicking myself.

Lesson learned. Make sure everything is clear before trying to level.
