[VAC] Re: Skin damage and water heater

[Harvey Barlow]

Jerry,   Most Airstream dealers or factory authorized service centers will probably sell you a small piece of A/S skin material for your patch.   Harvey ----- Original Message ----- From: Jerry Harris To: Multiple recipients of VACList Hi everyone, I am getting our 1971 Tradewind (25 foot) ready and have two problems.  While driving through El Paso last year, I hit a piece of 2x2 square steel pipe about  four feet long.  When I ran over it with my Excursion, it flew up, hit the front leveler, spun around and hit the side of the trailer making a hole about three inches by six inches through the outside skin only.  We finished our trip with a duct-tape patch.  I would like to put a piece of aluminum for a patch.  The only aluminum I can find is VERY thin material for flashing.  I would like something thicker.   The question is how thick and where can I find it?
