Help- Needs aluminum body panel for slide out

We have a 2012 Silverback 29RE in the silver/gray color combo. We had a blowout and it ripped up the lower aluminum panel on one of the slideouts. I have searched all over and have not been successful in locating the panel. Any ideas would be great.

The aluminum panel your tires damaged is called J Wrap. I ordered a length of it for my 2016 Silverback direct from FR 5 years ago, but I doubt if FR stocks it for an 11 year old fiver anymore. Try a sheet metal shop to see if they can roll you a matching curvature ... you'll have to trim to fit what you have as I did, then you'll have to get it painted. The J wrap just slides into the belt molding from the bottom and is secured in place by various screws per OEM along the bottom using OEM brackets. You might look at Treckwood's website as well. RV salvage yards are also an option.
