Well, I posted somewhere else, but here it is in summary:

On evacuation night I pulled into the CG about 2200 (11 p.m.) and it was, of course, very dark. I knew approximately where my site was and that I need to go to the turn-around. I made my wide swing but there was a truck parallel parked and I had to stop, back up, and readjust my turn slightly, like maybe a foot to clear. In doing so it readjusted my MH attitude and the CG had put in 3" pipe filled with cement on the very inside edge of the turn-around. The bottom storage door, about mid center, caught the pipe, knocked it over, and dented the bottom of the door, and scraped a little more on the exact bottom. All kind of things go through my mind as to what I could have done to avoid this "disaster." Besides my stupidity.

I talked to a body damage repairman today and he is going to fix it in his off time. He said I did not want to replace the door as they are about $2000 each. Since it is aluminum he said he can straighten it out and make it like new.
