Hail/hail Damage

I just purchased a (used but new to me) 550, and have had it home for less than 24 hours. Meant to spend the day cleaning on it, but on and off rain put an end to that. As the day progresses, (luck me), I've had heavy storm and possible hail warnings on my TV about every 20 minutes.

I was able to spend some time with my new trailer out in the dark last night, and its very obvious the skin is a very soft aluminum/aluminum alloy. Great for polishing, no so much for chips, hail, etc. Right now, my 550 has to live outside.

For those of you who's Camp-Inn trailers live outside and might face a similar threat, what do you do to protect your trailer from hail? Right now, I've got my 550 covered in moving blankets waiting for the storm (threat) to pass.

And as a follow on, if your Camp-Inn trailer has been damaged/dented by hail, what did you do to repair it? Trip back up northeast to the factory? Something else?

TIA for your comments,
 
I have also had some concerns with hail, though never experianced it to any degree. The back of our 560 is typically covered with a shelter (Northern Breeze or Paha Que) but we do carry 2 quilted furniture pads, which I thought would serve as a buffer on top of TD as well as several other uses, good to have with "just in case"....
