J Wrap (Panel) Replacement

[explorer2316]

I have a damaged a piece of J Wrap (Panel) on my Landmark.
I cant seem to find a supplier for the panel anywhere on the internet and wonder if anyone knows where I can buy it.
Also is there a post on the forum where someone has done a repair like this themselves?
Thanks

Try a siding company maybe he will have the same color.They can roll stuff I don't know how wide they can make it.

When I had a tire blow a unit ago I went to a metal supply store and bought a piece of scrap that was powder coated the same white.

I found that a two liter soda liter soda bottle filled with water gave me the guide I needed to match the factory roll.

I'll have to give this a try... I tried everything to get mine right after our blowout.

I use to have a cousin that raced but that resource is long gone. Thanks for the tip!

Your only four or five hours from Elkhart, IN. Looks like a little camping trip could be in your future.
Changing the j-wrap is easy if you can handle a tin snip, a screw driver/drill driver and a caulk gun.

Peace

Now that is an interesting idea. I have the tools and skill set. After all I did stay at Holiday Inn Express...... I could probably buy a piece of panel from Heartland parts, pick it up myself and change it out at Elkhart campground. Hmmmm........
Thanks

I helped a friend replace some j-wrap before. As Cookie mentioned, pretty simple process. Good news for you too is that you won't require any paint. Hope you have the length in your truck/RV for these pieces (10' to 12').

Picked up the panel at Heartland today. While at Shipshewana Campground South, I took the old panel off, used it as a template and cut the new piece, installed and calked. About a 3 hour job, set up to clean up.
Pic below of finished project. I pleased....

I had to replace a piece of mine. I went to rv deañer and had them order a piece. The main cost is shipping, and also waiting. Took forever to get here.
