little bit of talk of T-skirts falling off. Was with a GMC last fall that had one dissappear on him.

what is the best method to make sure they do not fall off, yet are serviceable??

Check the screws and pal nuts when you check the air pressure in your
tires. You do that fairly regularly.
Another option would be to put Skirt Lifters on them. Consists of a
stainless steel piano hinge and a heavy duty magnet and catch assy. Slick
Deal. Jim K and others carry them.

Never secure them too well incase the tread throws or the bag blows.
Does too much damage.
The screws should be going into the tinnerman clip.
I drive hard, bur never have the problem as I use te metel clip. Most of the ones that come into our shop have the clip missing and are sewing into giberglass that are almost stipped,

Good ideas definitely. The hinge at the top sounds like a good idea as it would allow for easy access to the bogey area. But just like the other doors on this coach you have nothing to hold it up with. Since it has the rubber at the bottom of the T maybe a quick connect at the top would be in order as it would allow you to drop the T in order to get into the bogey area and then just snap it back up in place. Will have to think about that..once I get some Ts.. Glenn
