Reskin or buy new Enclosed Trailer?

There are too many businesses out there that are easy to deal with. He sold or stopped doing business in his building off of the 215. It's been emptied out for awhile now. And as far as a solid trailer, this one mentioned wasn't so solid. The pinholes were a fairly common problem in the business. Even Lance RV had the problem. It was the aluminum roof laying directly on steel staples in that instance. $12K sounds outrageous to me but then so many businesses operate on the premise that there is always a bigger sucker coming up the road. 

Yes, that's what I said, "he downsized." he moved back into his original location from the place along the 215 fwy quite a while ago.

100% agree the problem is and was common.I think the honest builders out there will tell you the lower and mid priced trailers do a bad job isolating Alum and steel and will all have galvanic corrosion in 5-10 years - Most rely on paint or Glue to isolate but always seem to miss that a few screws are going through it all or a couple staples are rubbing through the paint, Like anything proper prep prevents it, but takes time and precision, that does not match the get it done quick attitude most of the builders have. it does not take much contact but takes time to eat through. Higher end all aluminum trailers  seem to hold up, but theI are generally not cheap ...
