exterior siding

[pjones]

I own an 84 mobile home made by champion. I have 6 panels of siding that are bowing and 2 that are actually comming apart. I have read in forums before that to install new siding just apply siding over the old. My question is should I remove those panels and just fur out the studs and install the new over the old as recommended? I am new to the site and am really having a tough time navigating..I will check through the FAQ section a little more. Thanks pjones.

What type of siding do you have, wood panels or aluminum?

Just going over what you have is only going to give you a new bowed siding. you will need to get the bow out before you put new siding on. Greg

It is the old wood look alike. I have about 6 panels that have to go, the rest of the exterior is ok and could be sided over as suggested. Thanks for your time..pjones
