Replacement Aluminum siding panel's?

Anyone know of a good source for aluminum replacement panels besides going through a dealer. It's on a Keystone so no chance going through the factory.

Try these folks. They use to have a video running a job through their shop. I can't find it now. They would ship all over the US if I recall right. 1 piece or a truck load.

I have never used them, but found them a while ago for the day I need new siding.

Hope this helps

There should be dozens boat&RV repair places in any big town. I just went to the closest. They all order from one factory in the neighboring province (this is Canada), dealer or no dealer. There are no more siding-forming facilities at dealers here. Shipping to the shop cost me more than the sheet. Brought him a sample to see the pattern (there are many), told him the length that I need, picked up a week later. The width is standard.

When I rebuilt my 81 Citation, I bought all new siding for it.

I did get it from an RV dealer parts department, but it wasn't some high priced thing they ordered in.

This dealers service dept had a complete set of the roll formers and the machine to run all their own siding. They had about half a dozen different profiles and a limited choice of a few colors.

So I looked at their profile samples, picked the one I wanted, in white, and supplied them with a complete list of the cuts and sizes.

They did a spectacular job of it. I was very pleased. Had to rent a 24 foot cube van to bring it home. It's kinda flimsy on its own.

This was quite a few years ago when aluminum was cheaper, but seems to me I paid about $1315. Or something like that for enough to do an entire 25 foot TT.

Perhaps you could poke around your local areaxandcsee if anyone has a siding rollformer line.

Prior to that I checked an online RV place for pricing. They wanted to rip me a new one via my wallet. It pays to ask around. I forget the name of the place, all... something?

That's why I don't want to go through the Keystone dealer close to me, I'm sure they would want to make a Healthy profit for their trouble.:( I only need 12' panels.

A tree came down and scrapped the slideout side denting them in.

Moved from General RVing

Drop down to Broken Arrow, OK and talk to Macs about your needs.
I delt with them years ago when I had a part time mobilehome/RV repair business. Back then if they didn't have any in stock or you had a panel type that wasn't made anymore they had equipment to run the same crimps in the color you needed.

Thanks that's not very far, shipping would be prohibitively expensive.
