aluminum siding

I have a 2012 Keystone Retreat that is permanent parked.During a wind storm a branch blew off a tree and ripped a 12 by 1and 1/2 inch gash in the aluminum skin.My question is can they repair this on site?It is located on the back side of the trailer and it only damaged a panel what looks to be about 2 and 1/2 ft. high and whatever the width of the trailer is.It is also the middle panel.

    Maybe a call to Keystone would turn up the exact replacement panels. I don't know how the back of your Retreat is put together but the siding on mine is easy to replace. I would think a siding guy that knew about RV's could help you on that.

    Yes it can be replaced. That is one of the benefits to old school aluminum siding over this new pre fab jund. Finding a mobile repair guy may be the harder part. You can order the skin piece and pattern and do it your self. I did. Best of luck

    An RV service should be able to do it if you have one willing to come to your site. They will have to take all the panels above the damaged area off as well because they interlock.
