Where have you found your skin???

[distant75]

I have called several RV/Camper shops local to me about replacement skin for my trailer and they all seem to be very much useless, I even called some metal shops too. I need to possibly replace part of the roof and I defiantly want to replace the passenger side skin. Where have some of you found your skins at. Is there a place online that can order some? Most of my searches online have been a bust so any info would be great. Thanks

Have you tried Air Parts, Inc.? They might be able to help....http://www.airpartsinc.com/

I think most places would only be able to supply a smooth aluminum sheet. They may be able to make the creases and seems with a brake press if they have it for an extra fee, or you may have to take it to a metal fabrication shop that has a brake press to get it done or figure out a way to do it on your own. Hope this helps...

Hemet Valley RV does carry the aluminum...

Also Interstate Metal Fabricators...

There is also a online tutorial to make your own but I have to find it.

I hope one of these works out for you. Let us know how it works.

I was able to deal with Interstate Metal Fabricators just last week in person since they are only 10 miles from my house. They were easy to work with and provided good service.

I just got off the phone with the Metal Company:

www.themetalcompany.com

and it turns out, they are about 20 minutes from my location. I decided to completely re-skin mine and will be getting the materials from these folks.

Their site has a catalog that appears to have many things I am ultimately after.

Hope this helps!
