Bill, on the fender skirt, a thin strip of metal. 1/8"x1/2"x1"(available at ace hardware and probably Home Depot) laid in from end to end, behind the skirt, just might take the bow out of it. It would call for a couple of longer screws unless the metal did not go any farther than each end of the wheel well. Then it could be attached to just the skirt with 2-3 short screws. I don't have the same problem that you had because my TM is a 3023(2004) and it came with the 15" wheels and tires which, so far, have not given me any grief. Time will tell on the tires though, as we are about to head up to Vermont and points in between( we are in Ga.) We keep the trailer in the garage with the tires parked on pads of carpet. So far. they look good-no sidewall cracks, etc......Jim
