I completed some mags for a customer last week. Although he liked them, he realized his trailer (he borrows) was made of aluminum! He was asking me for an easy way out since the trailer isn't his.
What would your suggestion be? ie: screwing a blank steel panel each side to accept the magnetics??? hmmmm What do you think I could suggest to this guy since the magnetics are already done and are for this (borrowed) trailer?

If the sides are smooth (and THIN) could the steel be attached to the inside?

This is a doozy.

You can get magnetic strips with adhesive backed metal included, kinda like buying velcro, from any number of suppliers, none of which I can find or think of right now! But, if you call Spandex (Slatz signs) 610-434-9889 they can tell you where to find some.

Put the mags on thicker metal and "suction cup" to trailer. Our local camping supply house has many different sizes and depths of these that are very strong. Some can hold camp stoves onto the sides of travel trailers.

3M makes double sided foam tapes with many different bonding strengths. I'd ask a 3M wizard wht the best product might be for this application.
