How hard to replace siding on 2 year old trailer?
2015 Heartland North Trail. Even though a couple years ago I resealed all the windows and every possible place water can get in, one side of my trailer's siding is delaminating just about everywhere. There is no sign of water damage - I checked when I took the windows out, etc. IMHO, the delamination was caused by my areas very warm days in the sunshine and extremely cold nights. The bubbles only expand in the winter. The problem side gets direct sunlight in the morning, shade in the afternoon and evening.
2 questions:
1) How hard is it to remove all the fiberglass or filon? siding and replace it? I imagine a lot of the plywood underneath would come off and need to be replaced, too.
2) Has anyone just covered delaminated filon or fiberglass with screwed on aluminum trailer siding? It seems pretty easy to work with and could be a quick and efficient fix. Do an shops do this?
Even though it is only a couple years old, it seems to me the $10,000 dealers want to replace the filon or fiberglass on one side is more than I am willing to put into the trailer. Plus, even if I did I am sure the other side that currently has no delamination would start separating soon. Any constructive comments will be appreciated. Thanks!
