The 1st photo is of the front street side portion of the TM. The bolts were run from the inside thru to the outside and attached with nuts. The excess bolt material was cut off and sanded smooth.

The 2nd photo is of the inside in front of the slide. I used the aluminum angle iron only at first that was sent to me free of charge from the service man at the Tennessee facility after I called and explained my problem. After a year that failed and it needed additional support because the screws were pulling out. I added the aluminum sheeting with bolts. There is no problem with the slide moving over this repair. The angle iron is attached thru the floor and the sides with bolts. The additional screws you see in the angle iron were the original repair and not strong enough to secure the walls to the floor.

The 3rd photo is of the rear street side.

The 4th photo is of the inside of the street side rear storage compartment where I used the L-brackets and angle iron to secure the wall to the floor. Because there wasn't the problem of the slide I ran the bolts from outside to the inside of the wall and floor and secured with nuts.

The 5th photo is to the left of the entrance door. That area is secured only with the L-brackets which have held up nicely.

Again I believe these repairs were needed because of the flexing/bouncing that occurs with the longer TM's. The strain is too much for the weak wall to floor construction.
