Yesterday we brought our FR SV233T home to get it ready for our up coming trip. I have to back it into the driveway and while doing that I scraped the skid bar. I have scraped the bar before but not like this. It was too late to stop as the damage was done. Not only did I gouge the concete but I bent / twisted the skid bar so now it is about 30 degrees out from straight. The bar is 'V' shaped and welded to the I-beam frame. The lower portion of the I-beam is slightly distorted but I can't tell if I did any damage above that as the bottom of the trailer is enclosed. Do you think I have a concern ? Should I have it looked at ?

The damage looks to be cosmetic...nothing that a little heat and a big hammer couldn't correct. I don't think I'd bother to fix it until it's for sale.
I agree with everybody else. NO REAL DAMAGE that a BFH can't fix. I wouldn't heat though because you'd have to take the underbelly off and also risk real damage if your aren't extra special careful.
