Where to buy new aluminum siding in the New England area..
As part of my camper restoration, I would like to replace the aluminum sheet metal across the rear of the camper. The old panels are 8' long.
There are 3 of them. One is about 11.25" wide (tall), one is about 43" wide, and the top one is about 34" wide.
So, I found a couple of places online that sell them, and the price is reasonable.
BUT...the shipping is outrageous!! I ordered (2) 4' x 8' sheets. They totaled $140.00. The shipping was $760.00 delivered to my door, or $560.00 if I picked them up 30 miles away, at a truck depot.
Needless to say, I cancelled the order.
Another place had panels for $130.00 each. Not too bad, considering that the sheet metal was quite a bit thicker. There shipping was $396.00 though, cheaper than place #1, but the total cost is still kind of high.
I'm going to my local RV center on Saturday, to see what they can do, but on the phone, they told me that shipping the panels to get them to their store is pretty expensive.
My question...does anyone know of an RV center that might have these in stock, somewhere in the southern New England area? Somewhere that I could possibly drive to?
Thank you.
Rich
