Tent Trailer aluminum research

stopped by alcobra metals to ask about aluminum for the exterior.  $40 for a 4 x 10 foot sheet, might take 3 or 4. they can cut using my cad files, maybe takes 2 or 3 days.

.032" thick, 5052.  durable, utility grade, cheap.  scuffs easily, but who cares, we'll treat this like a horse trailer, not a piece of jewelry.
