Default Back Wall Separation

After a trip over a bad washboard road, the back wall of my 2000 TM 3023 separated from the sidewalls. Any advice on how to repair myself. The local dealer fix is going to be pricey and i am trying to sell.

It has been a long time, but I believe that if you remove the vertcial trim strip that covers the outside of the seam, you can see the lag screws that bind the walls together. If the screws have simply pulled out and stripped the threads in the process, you will need to either replace them with a larger size, or move the holes a bit.

Thanks Bill,

I went ahead and used plumbers strap to attach the back wall interior tube metal to the side wall interior tube metal. It is more sturdy than the factory now!
