Hail Stone Damage On The Caravan.

[crosspatch65]

Last week our daughters caravan was badly damaged due to a storm, hailstones almost as large as golf balls have damaged the top and sides.
We are wondering if has had a similar problem and is there any way of repairing the damage.?

There are specialist firms which can do the work, e.g.

but I'll bet that their services don't come cheaply!

The trouble is the Alloy Stretches Cross, using heat can also melt the Alloy metal, you can purchase a Sucker / puller, depending on how much of a dent there is in the metal, the puller can be bought for under a fiver.

TWR's "how much of a dent there is" seems to be wildly underestimating the damage....I can imagine lots and lots of dents for which these panel suction-pullers would be useless.(I've seen this sort of damage in Southern France -all the local cars, roofs, greenhouses, conservatories ruined by giant hail).

This happened to my father-in-law and his insurance paid for a new roof on the caravan. Does your daughter have insurance?
