I used FRP from Depot or Lowes, It comes in polar white or off white. I used the while, and put the textured side facing out. This helps to break up any irregularities or anything else you may see looking from one end to the other.
Its water proof so it wont stain, its easy to clean.
Provided its not frozen its easy to cut with tin snips or a fine tooth band saw if you have a helper.

Use the old panels which come out as your templates for the new panels That will save you many hours of adjustments. The aluminum channels on the edges will actually hold the sheet in place and provided you cut them correctly they will bow up and basically hold themselves up long enough to put a pop rivet or two in them.

I used V 47 Cap and Retainer from Nuddo Company as recommended by another GMCer. It worked awesome. Put the retainer in, pop rivet in a few spaces and then once two panels are butted together you put the snap the cap on top of it. Nice clean look, covers all the rivets and holds everything tight. Nice stuff and it matches the color.

As long as you like white, there is no need for glue, paint etc. and Yes, this can be a one person job with some patience. Lastly. Start at the rear of the coach with the new panels and work forward to the cap. If the cap has yellowed, Krylon White Fusion is a perfect match.

Its a rewarding job once its done.
