Not much more money than the 48" panels, just took a few days to get them in. I was wrestling with the same 48"/needing overlap issue until he came up with that solution for me. If you look at pretty much any enclosed trailer out there they are all built with the 49" panels and they usually put them in the brake and put just a slight bend on the last 1" so the edge stays down flat when they are riveted or screwed.

Wow, I didn't know that! Yes it to late for this build but you never know what's will come up down the road.
