Guess we've decided to call the TM factory on Tuesday and order the needed parts. Weren't trying to cheap out, thought the aluminum would be longer-lasting (and it wasn't cheap), but your points about the appearance and sliding ability are well taken. We don't have a big orange sign place yet (one coming soon, they're grading now) and the aluminum was all I could find. We were going to have to counter-sink all the screw holes anyway in the aluminum, and the factory strip already had that done (hopefully the replacement part will too).

May order replacement washers and slider/track guides as well for the underneath part of each bed, as the ones we have are popping out too often. It's a real pain to get to the campground, open up your TM, and then have to mess around with trying to get the washers aligned in the tracks again.

Guess we'll have to take the rear bed out to do the gluing of the replacement L-shaped plastic strips underneath. I'll let you know how it went after we're done.

Thanks for the input.
