Looking to find out how much this is going to cost me and possibly where to buy the parts to fix it.

What the hell happened??

Two of my buddies work for Colton, I can see if they know of a place.

Nothing helpful to add but, I hope it’s a sweet bear attack story!

From the lack of front edge damage I’m going to guess something just came loose at highway speeds and peeled it off?

Not sure what happened. Not sure if some tire debris was kicked up at it on the 90 or what.  
Then the wind did the rest. Could be I only hit 87.9 mph or had 1.2 Giga watts

Edit: I’m pretty sure fire counts as normal wear and tear in the eyes of my insurance company

Judging from the darkened areas around the front edges starting at the top by the gutter going down to the lower edge, I’d say the glue started failing from water getting in, started separating, then the wind at road speed tried to make a kite out of the side.

It’s been pretty dry since we owned it.  
I caulked the $hit out of it after our friend discovered his marker lights were leaking and had ruined his camper.

I can’t say that would not have an effect. The more I look into siding options, the more I see on delamination.

Spoke with my buddy, he’s a manager at Colton. He said to call 716-694-0188 and ask for the services department, he said from the picture that a reskin isn’t that bad but it looks like you have rot too, or at least the beginning stages, which could explain why the skin came loose and ripped off.

Thanks. I’ll give them a shot for at least an estimate.
