    I need to repair some damage to my enclosed trailer. Does anyone know where I can find the extruded aluminum trim pieces that mount on the edges of the trailer that receive the vinyl trim strips? Also could use a source for the white aluminum siding. I've checked with some of the large trailer suppliers in the area, but they are clueless. The closer to central Texas the better.Thanks a lot.

    probably would have to go right to the manufacturer...like Haulmark..etc.
    and the parts you need may be trailer specific, so you will want to be sure you get the extruded aluminum parts that came for your series trailer and year.

    I would see if you can get a number to the manuf.

    It was tried. apparently it was a small company out of So Cal that isn't in business anymore. At this point, I'm just trying to get it presentable so I'll settle for something close....

    ahh..well good luck on that than..
    the sheeting you should be able to find that..white painted aluminum?
    or just get the aluminum and paint it..as for the structural parts..see if you cant find some extrusion close to the original..maybe Mcmaster carr..or Granger?

    I can't help with the extruded aluminum... but for the colored sheets, look for a race car shop. It's what we build the bodies for our dirt late models out of.

    Damn Geeman... didn't you have someone blocking you in and protecting your trailer, or is this why it's messed up?

    You know, I have seen you back that trailer up.....
