I'm an idiot. I backed into a wall.

Fffffff

in my own driveway. I hit the retaining wall at 1/4 mph in reverse. With the side of the rear corner. Ugh. I'm so mad at myself. Thought i had PLENTY of room....
Yup, somehow i drove right into this wall 8 feet off my driveway.

Missed the bumper and took the direct scrape and pull right on the corner below the rear window height. Pulled a bit of the corner joint away to the point where you can see in and the edges are not connected. I'm so mad at myself. I cannot believe i did this.

I didn't take a pic of the damage, will add one later.


I thew some silicone pipe leak tape on it (only thing i had handy) to seal it up as we are expecting pouring rain tonight.

I'll get some pictures but i'm pretty sure this needs to go to a shop to be repaired. But, where? A standard auto body shop won't fix this type of stuff.
Should I call an rv roof replacement guy? There's one in my area.
attempt it myself with some amazon parts/sealant, tapes?

Well you’re not the first and won’t be the last. Pics will help answer the repair question.

I feel your pain, I'm so sorry this happened to you. I creased the very bottom of two baggage doors because I had a campground employee direct me on a turn and there was a small pole not very high off the ground out of sight line; never again will I listen w/o checking.

I had to Google RV autobody repair, the closest was 70 miles away; auto places won't touch it. Because aluminum is harder to work with they suggested replacing the doors for the minor crease. They convinced the insurance it would be cheaper overall to buy new and repaint and they agreed. Like it never happened.

Best of luck with repair.

I tried to relocate a power pedestal on my dream trip to Florida. Nothing a credit card can't fix and it's just a lesson, it will pass, someday you'll laugh about it over a campfire.
