Waaaaaay down the list of things to do to my trailer is pull the walls apart, replace anything rotten, and replace the exterior siding. There are enough cracks in the fiberglass around the windows that I'm not sure how well patching would hold up or look.

Can you get replacement siding for something as long as 27ft? The siding on my trailer is one piece front to back, and three sections vertically.
 
Probably not easily. The walls in that kind of construction are typically formed as a unit, with the laminated skin vacuum-bonded together with the framing. Then the entire wall is placed on the trailer floor/frame and screwed or bolted into place. Not sure in a 1988, though. The fiberglass sidewall construction technique was in its infancy then.
