Wheel Well Fender Wobble
Has anyone been able to strengthen the wheel well fender on a 2020372 WB? Annoying to watch it wobble in rear view mirror. There are no screws missing and all are tight. Driver side only, passenger side doesn't seem to have that issue.

You could add another brace. Mine don't seem to move much while we are going down the road. Then again I don't look at them while going down the road either.

On or previous Jayco TT we had this issue. I removed the fenders and sanded the inside area and added a layer of fiberglass matting in the areas that were moving. Re-attached and issue was solved. Sold the trailer 5-years later and never had the situation re-occur. Only checked the screw periodically to insure they were snug.

Awesome gentlemen! Some great ideas. Flystar do you know what thickness of the brace you installed? It looks to be about 1/8". I may try that before removing the fenders.
Thanks for the help!2020 Solitude 372WB Equipped with a Executive GenY Towed by 2021 GMC Sierra 3500 CC SB SRW with B&W Gooseball

I have had several of the flimsy factory braces break. Did something similar to what FlyStar shows above.

We had a simlar issue with our last trailer (Transecend 26RLS) that we just traded in. The fender skirt installed on the slide-out would flap in the wind when we drove and I quickly noticed tiny crackes in the plastic near the screws. Unfortunately there was no way to reinforce or put an extra support on it due to the slide mechanism being in the way. There was however a large adjustment bolt for the slide out that stuck down quite a bit, coincidently it was right in the middle of the skirt between the two tires. So I drilled a small hole in the fender skirt (on the bottom where you can't see). Then I took a small tie-wrap and wrapped it around bolt and though the hole and snugged it up. This was all that was needed to keep the fender skirt steady when we drove around. I did that over 4 years ago and it was still holding steady when we sold it.
