I recently mis-judged a corner and put a small dent into the side of my van - its scrapped and dented inward the part of the side that has lots of small corrugations on it. (size about 8" x 4")

Does this type of repair need to be done by a specialist rather than my local dealer and does anyone know if this can be successfully repaired or will I need a whole new side fitted (caravan is only 16 months old so will probably end up being an insurance repair)

Its easy with cars as any decent body shop will sort out a problem, just not sure what happens with caravans!

PS Didn't your dealer recommend a repairer?

yes imho,you will have to do it though the insurance.it will need a new side panel, for two reasons if it was ours i would not want to look at it each trip and one day you may want to sell it.
