the grade of aluminum we used on those trailers was quite ductile, and bending the crossmember back will cause no serious harm

Fill the tubing with sand and plug ends.
Just curious, what does filling the tubing with sand achieve? I've never heard of doing that before.

If it's packed in tightly, the tube is no longer hollow and won't collapse. Or at least that's what the girl thinks. We'll see if I'm right or wrong.
