Gelcoat damage

I have a new 2019 Rockwood 2880 ultra light fifth wheel and recently damaged the front gelcoat cap when I turned a sharp corner in the campground and made contact with the trifold truck cap which was folded to the front of the truck bed.This is the fourth time we have had our new camper out, and the first time the cap has come into contact with the truck cap! The damage area is next to the bottom of the gelcap and is approximately 2" x 1" in size. Needless to say the trifold truck cap will always be completely removed before any more trips! Any suggestions on what I should do so that the unit looks like new again!

Call FR and they can sell you a gel coat repair/patch kit to match your gel coat.

It wont be perfect but better than as is.

Do what my friend did. Buy a patch kit, fix it yourself. It won't be perfect. Put a stick on reflector (or a suitable decal) over it. Done.
