Default New Seal-Flaps for Rear Bed Area

TM Factory finally has come up with a solution to the drafty seals and cold coming in at the rearbed area. I was talking to a dear friend of mine in TM today who has been with them for many a year and he told me that their engineers have finally come up with a solution to the problem that apparently had been talked about for 10 years but nobody of the old owners did enything about. He told me that they are currently installing insulated flaps just like the front area of the TM on the new units coming off the line. He explained to me that they are installed differently than the front ones. The left and right flaps are attached in some manner to the bedslide and the rear flap is attached to the wall and fold unto Velcro just like the front ones, creating a draft free and cold free area for the rear bed. He told me that when you are spending $34K on a trailer you should not be having to go out and buy noodles to seal it and keep the drafts out. I said to him that it was about time that headache was fixed.

He also told me, that in the near future, it will more than likely become a fix for the older TMs in the way of a Kit with Detailed Installation Instructions that can be purchased direct from the factory at a reasonable price. Can't wait to see that happen.

The factory is very busy at the moment with lots of orders coming in from dealers for their stock allotments so much so that TM has put the Nebraska factory on hold untill the fall so as not to affect their supply to the dealers.

It is real great to see TM getting back on their feet. Hurrah for them.
