new 3400RL accident first day

[captbanjo]

Well, the size of this beast was a lot more than I thought it was once I got it on the back of my Sierra 2500. I live in Rhode Island and we have two way streets here that shouldn't be one way streets. After picking up the brand new rig, I managed to scrape a brick building side causing a small (one inch) chip to the left rear of the fiberglass rear side. So question: does anyone here think those fiberglass patch kits that you can buy at hardware stores are usable or would you recommend a dealer fix? The damage is very minor but it's upsetting because it's new so I want to patch it. It's really made me realize just how much bigger a fifth wheel is compared to my only prior trailer, a 24 foot Chateau travel trailer. I had never given any thought to the trees that line my street or to the angle I would need to get into the driveway. It may have been a blessing in disguise because I will be extra careful now. I was on my own at the time and I turned too sharply. But the good news is it's a beautiful home. We can't really believe how much room we have. The woodwork is excellent and overall, everything initially seems well put together and operational. I have several questions but I think I'll post them separately so I can flag them with anyone who wants to offer an opinion.
