Hey all, my father and I are trying to consider what to cover the teardrop with, and we were hoping you all could fill us in with some good insight so:

Besides Aluminum, what siding do you have/would recommend, and why?

Thank you to all that help us

Mike S. has a very good thread, talking about different skinning options for his Weekender build. I am going to seal mine with penetrating epoxy and then paint it with epoxy boat paint, similar to his suggestion on this thread:

This is the best option I have seen, and someone else can do it for you.
