Aluminum Siding. Please Help!

Does anyone have advice or knowledge of replacing aluminum siding on a 1989 mallard sprinter travel trailer? Can I purchase aluminum siding from Menards and use that?
  • Try googling RV aluminum siding and you will find a few places that specialize in this product.
    Here is one

  • Many RV places have "some" laying around for repairing campers as they come in... IF'N you have to have stuff that matches...it'll cost more but most of the time can be had.
    Have fun.
  • How much do you need?

    I love me Layton TT but over 30 years on rough roads and 2 trips to Alaska it has stressed cracked all of the aluminum in the corners. I went and priced it and it was over 4 grand for just the materials!!!!! :E In other words, it's totaled. One sheet was like $300 bucks and that was years ago.
  • If you are wanting to match the existing siding, you probably not be able to find it at any big box store like Menards. If you are totally replacing it, you can use it. Just be aware that what you find at Menards may be thicker, therefore heavier.
