Squeezing through tight trees on a narrow road on our trip to the Eastern Sierra in June 2025, a branch put a deep groove in our new camper’s aluminum siding the length of the camper’s right side. Back home from a recent trip to Oregon, we made an appointment to drop by the All Terrain Camper facility yesterday morning.
As ever, it always fun to see the new campers during construction and others completed and ready for delivery.
One great advantage of the original/traditional aluminum siding is how easy it is to replace. The gouge we put in was along the bottom siding panel, so this was a straight forward repair, especially by the experts at ATC.
The window was removed.
Matt removed the two jack brackets.
Marty and Matt removed the bottom edge trim.
And the damaged panel was removed.
The new panel was cut to length and width.
Brad cut out the piece for the bottom of the window.
Marty put on a new Bobcat decal.
I did not catch it and neither did Marty, but at this point Julie said, “Isn’t the Bobcat sticker upside down?” With a smile Marty answered, “You could have told me sooner.”
Here’s the new decal going on.
The new panel was slid into place and stapled to the frame along the bottom.
The bottom edge trim and jack brackets were installed.
The black trim that covers the screws for a very clean look was slid back into the bottom edge trim.
And Brad helped with reinstalling the window.
And in less than an hour our camper was looking like new. Great job ATC! We love our camper and how it makes all of our adventures so much fun.
We saw that Marty has a new personal project of his own, a 1941 Mercury. A visit to All Terrain Campers is always great fun.

That's funny. I just sent Monte an email before seeing this using that same term!
