J Wrap skirting replacement?

Howdy! A couple days ago the skirting, if that's the correct name, came off one side of my Cougar. I've read an old thread about this problem and see that Trekwood was the solution there.

Wondering if anyone knows of other options, better cheaper or just closer to me - currently near Albuquerque and eventually headed west.

Since it's a 2011 trailer I don't expect a proper Keystone part to be available.

Also, what you don't see in the pic is that I cut the loose part off. Miles to the next exit and narrow shoulder. so... :-(

Thanks!

I've had good results from lookupourskirts.com . They have logo'ed replacement parts for scores of models.

When you find the correct Jwrap, measure the overall length, and width as it comes in precut lengths. when you replace it just lay the old piece on the new piece. The new piece should have a protective wrap on the painted side and come in bubble wrap. Lay the new piece on the bubble wrap, then the old one on top. Use a permanent marker to draw the lines for the ends and the fender skirt.

I got lucky! Fortunately, I kept both the big piece shown in the original post, and the small piece that was left when I cut the big one off.

In Payzon AZ I went to an HVAC sheet metal shop and asked if he could help put the two pieces back together. He used a piece of sheet metal to splice and rivet the original parts. Took fifteen minutes and he did it for free.

I don't mind how it looks, only that it's permanently fixed. Took about two hours, moving slowly, to get everything back on the way it should be, including bolts w/locknuts at each end instead of screws.

Still need a plastic fender by the wheel well, but that's no biggie.
