Shops that specialize in airstreams have both alum and stainless steel in stock. Give'm a call.

Shops that specialize in Airstreams are few and very, very far between here in ND. :-)

I need a small 20" X 4" piece to replace a corroded piece on the water heater lip to the banana skin. I have aluminum flashing but it is too light weight.

Do you have any local fabrication shops? They will be more expensive but will either have what you are looking for or tell you where you can go locally.
