Thanks,

That may work in some areas but in the Seattle area (this thread) the company that I bought from for my first teardrop sells scratched and kinked .040 aluminum.
Rolled scratches on itself and has a memory.
It's for truck trailer roofs where no one looks.
It's quite difficult for one person to handle because of it's width. :D Danny
