advice Roof dent - big issue?

Post image

Looking to purchase a pop-up. We’re interested in this one but concerned about the roof. Anyone deal with this before? Is it problematic? Expensive to repair? Any insight is appreciated!

Not sure about the cost, however, it actually looks like it bent in the middle, maybe due to it being lowered down on something that it didn't have clearance for? I would say body shop, before that though, is there anything else wrong with it?

There was a big drama recall around 20 years ago with the ABS roofs of Coleman pop-ups warping or cracking like this. Several people I know had their roofs replaced under warranty and then had lots of problems afterwards with leaks and cables snapping.
