I am restoring a vintage 1967 Aloha Travel Trailer and I'm searching for the metal used for the original back-splash. I'm assuming that it's aluminum but I'm not even sure what to call what I'm searching for. Does anyone have any ideas? or sources for this type of metal? I've been searching vintage stores and online resources and have not found anything.

I'm enclosing a photo of the current kitchen so you can see what I'm talking about.

That kinda looks like the stuff they use in catering trucks (aka roach coaches). If your big box home store doesn't have anything like it and you want to stay true to the design, maybe look for commercial restaurant suppliers.

I've had luck searching this group, some of the other members might direct you to a source - which may end up being a salvaged trailer.

This is where I've bought a lot of vintage stuff for the trailers I've redone. I have found items not listed on their site by calling them:
