Searching for aluminum coil for new roof

I have a few RV projects in the burner. One involves needing about 25’ of 96” wide .004” aluminum. My Google fu has been weak. I have found multiple places that advertise it online without listing prices, only to be told they only sell it by the coil (about 4K lbs) or they only sell it at out of state locations.

Anyway, any hints to find some roofing in the San Antonio or Houston area?

    This may be a tough nut.

    I don't think there is anyone stateside that rolls .004, or anything else, any wider than either 60" or 72".

    I remember when hanging out for years at popup forums many tried to find 96" wide for rebuilding popup roofs, and I don't believe anyone ever found it. They always had to figure out a way to seam two pieces together.

    Have you checked Triple S Steel ? They are on Thompson Street just South of 90 by old Kelly AFB.

    Discount Steel Ft Worth TX. I buy from them through their Minneapolis location, mostly aluminum structural and plate/sheet.
    They will ship.
