Not sure about yr cladding. My stupided van repairer in Darwin couldn't get his hands on what "he" needed. It sat in his shed for 4months waiting on 3m of decal.. resulting us in being vanless for Christmas an New years so we were  not going to miss easter
 Instead of using the decal cladding we changed to use check plate. The result in my opions it actually looks better,  now stronger, and better for stone impacts.
But it is the front and the bottom 1/4 was already black checker plate which we just continued to the roof line.
Life's wasn't meant to be fair.
Well so I've been told. ..

What sort of camper / caravan  did you pick up BB .. Would it be an option to use ACP  sheeting instead as per this Jayco rebuild

Checker plate could be an option I will also look into the ACR sheeting.
Just opened it out in the shed and I think I will just gut it and start again, will head over to the build section and start a new thread.
