Basically the Cap was damaged on the drivers side due to a stress fracture on their hitch causing the locking pin to come undone.

They have it in the body shop to get holes, dents and dings fixed but I question if we should even accept delivery of a, now damaged, unit. What should I be looking for as other damage from dropping the Cap on a fifth wheel? They said they didn’t see any structural damage; however, the unit is closed up so not sure if they really checked anything inside. Should I even take delivery of a damaged unit now or make them get me a new, undamaged unit?

Perplexed and disappointed….

Thanks for any replies.

RUN!!!

If the frame is damaged or weakened you could be killed in the ensuing wreck. There is no way a dealer can guarantee the rig is 'as new' after that kind of an incident. Better to wait and be safe.
