My in-laws let us borrow their 1970' era camping trailer (which they love). This is an old pop-up style trailer that has a steal frame and canvas top. Its no longer being manufactured and no camping trailer place would have parts or support to work on it. I accidentally bent one of the steal support rods that slides in and out of one of the beds and now we can not get the camper to fold back into position. The steal is very thick and impossible to bend back into proper alignment by hand.

I have no idea who or where to get this fixed? Does anyone know what type of shop or place I can take this to? I think they will need to remove some of the metal supports, bend it back into place, then re-attach them to the camper.

I am stumped. Thanks!

Any machine shop should be able to source and craft what you need in short order.
Is the bent rod actually steel or aluminum?
