This the way the trailer was delivered, is it something to be concerned with? Bringing it back to the dealer is not an option. The dent is approximately 3/8" deep



Sorry, trying to post some photo's and  I'm having trouble,,,,any help would be appreciated.

No pic but if you are concerned, call LL direct and ask for closest dealer that can solve your problem.

A picture would be really nice. ;)

i usually just upload the pictures to http://tinypic.com/ and copy the link that they show you after the upload.

I'm assuming that this is up by the hitch?

It looks like it got banged while transported or parked, perhaps by backing too sharp and getting hit by the tow vehicle?

In any case, I don't think you have too many options. Replacing the frame member by welding in something new wouldn't be a good idea, and fixing it some other way (weld a bead and grind it flat) would not make it any stronger.

That ding would not stop me from towing the trailer across the country.

I'm going to leave it alone, sometimes I don't leave well enough alone and make matters worse,  8^)  the dent is about 3/8" deep, maybe less.

That looks for all the world like a forklift pronged it.

Tell us again why involving your dealer is not possible ?

I live on Long Island, the dealer is in Fla, I had it shipped, nobody had a 21RBS, they were the closest one and the price was right.
