Danger of shells popping up while in motion?

I vaguely recall a sticker saying to latch the door side first. Maybe next time. I used to have to sort of jump on it (the foot stirrup) to get it down.

I have had the sirup latch fail twice where the revit fails and the latch hand by the spring. Both times the spring held the part until I stopped. I now carry two ratcheting 15' straps in my TV that end to end can go around the trailer which would be a road fix. Have not had to use them yet. I also carry a few 1/4-20 by 3/4" stainless steel bolts, flat washers and locking SS nuts to repair the latch if they fail. The 1/4 bolt is what I found to be a very good fix since the revit is 1/4".

shebantam, you did not mention (or I missed it) if you were attempting to close the last latch when you had problems.

I was having trouble latching the door-side front shell when it was the last latch to close. Had the wife pull on the latch to get it to close. I subsequently tried closing it before I closed the street-side latch, and it worked great. I now latch the door- (curb-) side first, then latch the street-side.

I think each TM is unique, with their individual qwerks. I have a much easier time closing mine, when I close the street side first, then the curb side, with both front and back shells. Even after adjusting my torsion bars, it didn't change. You just need to experiment with yours, to see which way works easiest for you.
