Shot with an arrow?
I'm sorry to read about your problem. But here might be a possible explanation.... Henery Wadsworth Longfellow, the great poet, confesses his ignorance about ballistics and trajectories, saying: 'I shot an arrow into the air, where it fell I know not where.' Well now we know where it fell, I'm suprised that it stayed in the air for that long.

Nice job but I would have left the arrow sticking out. Something to really talk about at a rally!

My Airstream is also the proud owner of a circular patch ... In my case, the PO used an aluminum tag from inside the furnace (which he removed and parted out). I think it's a "cool" touch:
I don't have a clue what caused the hole, though ... I have a few suspect dings on it that look like my Globetrotter may have been used for BB target practice, though. Character marks, I say.

That's HOT.. haha! Polish it up! IT'll look cool! My 'Trotter project has a "51" on the front. They were those black and white mailbox letters, but to my surprise, once I stripped them, they polished up like a mirror. Very cool! Now people think it's a '51. ha!

The "HOT" patch IS polished now, along with the rest of the trailer, so it looks a lot nicer than the photo I posted ... It never fails to elicit a comment or question when we're out and about, even though it's fairly low to the ground (on the front curbside corner, about a foot under the fresh-water filler cap).

The last place we lived-
I woke one morning and saw a strange fleck on the hall wall. Closer inspection revealed it was a hole and an even closer inspection revealed it went all the wall through the to the back yard! By prying the insulation out of the way and peeking through the opening...
I could see the back door of my inlaws home .
Seems an errant critter had woke the paw-in-law and he attempted to 'resolve' the problem...

Wow!!!!
Thanks everybody for you support and comments. when I bought my camper the hole was already present. I knew it was an arrow because the aluminum shaft was still blocking the hole. I am now wondering how long ago it would have been shot because it seems to me now everyone uses carbon fiber. thanks , Don

The patch would be REALLY cool if you attached 1/2 of an arrow exposed to the outer surface- aka Steve Martin's Crazy arrow head outfit. Wait, you could use a Polished Aluminum Shaft arrow!
