Ted & Harma -
When a car has been hit, problems quite often arise because the frame has been twisted a little bit and nothing ever quite fits right or lines up again. And with a car, it is hard to see the frame.
With a TM, the frame is very sturdy, very simple (no bends), and it is easy to see and examine. If someone just backed into it in a parking lot, it is unlikely that any frame damage was done, and if the factory has looked at it and blessed it, then you are almost certainly good to go.
You are right, if the slide, the lifting mechanisms, and the seams and seals all work right, you've checked almost everything there is to check. If the hit had been in the rear, there would be a few more things - but the front of a TM is pretty simple.
