    Cover that with tape until it gets repaired to keep the water out.

    If you want to put in on the long finger sail repair tape does a great job of keeping the water out and won't disintegrate like duct tape et al.

    Cheers. I have it covered with gaffer tape for now and will fill it this week.

    I'll use an epoxy followed by a metal filler. Sand it down and spray it as close to original as possible.

    You can, but it'll never look right. IF the panel flexes too much it'll crack the filler, and the skin of the MH is embossed metal, you'll end up with a smooth patch where you fill.

    Aluminium can be hard to bond with epoxy there are special primers, west systems do a product called gflex should be able to get it in most chandlers, the guys i linked to in the spray glue thread probably have a white label version of it if you call them. Regarding matching I'd just cover it with a trendy camper sticker and forget about it. http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nkw=(camper%2C%20motorhome)%20(decal%2C%20transfer%2C%20sticker)&_trkparms=65%253A12%257C66%253A2%257C39%253A1%257C72%253A5251&rt=nc&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14.l1513&_pgn=2
