Default no more vinyl flaps

Where the outer two walls meet in the bathroom has always looked shabby.
I came up with an easy mod and it turned out pretty nice. The DW loved it so I thought I'd do the same to the rest of the TM. What started out as a two day job turned into a month of "what have I gotten myself into". For a non slide model it would be fairly easy, For a slide to was not so easy. Now that it is done I'm glad I did it. Still needs a little tweeking and it does take an extra minute or two to set up though. Please don't ask how I did it, I'm trying to forget.

Wow, that looks really upscale! Nice work! Do they attach to anything, or just rest in place? Would love to hear more about them.....how many pieces, how'd ya do it, do they lock together, etc.

Very nice. Do you set them in the aisle or on the bed before folding ?

I'll try to answer some of your questions even though my communication skills are sorely lacking. I made sure the TM was as level and square as I could get it. I set a level on top of the inner wall and marked that plastic thing that holds the seal and flap on the bottom of the upper shell. I trimmed the strip down to that mark so it gave me a narrow ledge that was level with the top of the inner wall for the shelf could rest on. I cut out a slot into the backside of that plastic strip thing for the clips I made from some aluminum angle iron and notched it for the screw heads. The one by oak trim fits down over the inside of the wall and holds it all in place. The shelf across the back of the sofa doesn’t have any clips, it just rests on the plastic strip and is held down with a latch I made out of oak. When traveling the two longer pieces lay on a folded blanket on top of the counter with a couple pieces of egg crate foam on top to hold them in place and to protect the ceiling. The four shorter pieces get to ride on the sofa. After a couple of runs the average setup time for all six pieces was around two minutes, still fumbling around but gets easier each time.
