    Sources for wall panels and/or exterior skins

    For trim and windows, Vintage Supply is a good outfit. https://www.teardroptrailerparts.com/ I would think making up your own panels would be the way to go. It would allow you to join them much easier. T

    Wondering what you guys think a fair price for my trailer is

    Since no one else wants to chime in I'll throw my two-bits in. You've got a lot of money and time into the trailer and you did a fine job. A realistic goal is to recover your investment. I'd start there for a price point. Not what you were looking for. T
