skirt damage

Mowing the lawn and scraped the aluminum skirting in front of the wheel well it has a pretty deep scratch as well as a good dent. I've been looking on line to try to find a replacement part but don't seem to be able to find any parts stores other than everyday parts (wheel covers etc.)

Does anyone have a good source-online?

Make and model are in my sig.

Thanks for your help

    Good luck. I had a pole jump out in front of me in our 2 week old unit. Dented the skirting. Just got the estimate from the dealer last week - $749. The piece was less than $100 but shipping was $200 for the freight, $75 for the crate. 3 hours labor and some misc supplies (caulk, tape, etc).

    OUCH!

    Yeah the funny thing was that our deductible was the same as the repair cost.

    Ours was white so it didnt seem that much of an issue, but got the dealer to do it, it is a 2015 so didnt want to mess with a new rv that much. Good thing is that you cant tell it was repaired it looks that good, right down to the warning labels.

    Its called RV J wrap , you can order it online but it comes as a length of it, and you use the original as a template. I found it was easier & not much more expesive by getting dealer to do it. It cost me $500.00 CDN all in to get mine repaired. It has to be crated up for delivery and makes shipping costly I took it out on a hard packed snowbank last winter


    How do you match the original color?
