As you can see, the side was crushed in. Don't know the circumstances of the crash. Note that the side "rail" (chassis?) is bent slightly right by the propane tank (which, thankfully, bent down and was not damaged).

Does this look like it is fixable? Is the "rail" easily straightened? Cutting out the body panel is trivial, I think, as is welding another in its place.

The fridge was crushed from the back (see separate post regarding condition of fridge), so I don't know what collateral damage was done behind it. (Note line in photo where cabinets meet the carpet; it's not straight.) (Streaks in this photo are reflections in window.)

I have not yet bought this, but am seriously considering it. Interior is in immaculate condition; 80,000 miles.

Whatever you wish for me, May you have twice as much.
