Probably the best slide out leak video I have watched to date. Really appreciate the different examples that you spoke towards. Wish me luck! haha
Goldengoat, thank you so much for sharing. Glade we are able to help. You can always email me pictures to help if you have any questions.
Please check out my articles and pictures in the Facebook or website. There tons of information to help.
Great Information !!! Thanks for sharing , never a dull moment owning an RV 😅😅
That’s for sure, thanks for replying.
Great info 👍👍👍
Thanks 👍
Great advice, I had a issue with my slide coming in crooked, I looked it over closely and realized that the manufacturer did not drill holes on one side of frame to allow wear tabs to be installed. No holes no wear tabs . The other side was drilled and tabs installed. When moving the slide the rack would lift up to high causing the gears to not mesh and allow for a crooked slide . I guess for the first few times I moved the slide I got lucky . Being full time I was 3 weeks without my home . Dealer removed the room completely drilled holes and added wear tabs . How does the manufacturer miss such an important step .
I really appreciate this video ! You took some of the mystery out of the slide out I have. I only recently bought a 9 year old . ( trailer). I’m going to go ahead & get a cover/canopy? Installed soon . Rainy weather is about to start and I don’t like bringing in a wet outer structure inside. Watching this made me see that those rubber Wiper Shields need to be looked at on mine.
A timely video
Glad I could help!
Great job on your video >skills!
Thank you very much!
Its a good idea to once a year go around your camper with your sealant gun.
Yes, we agree!
Thank You! I have serious concerns about my 2005 KIT COMPANION 328F 5th Wheel, since it's so old & I'm too old to do maintence/repairs...other than gather tips & knowledge like you provide. Best Regards from your neighbor in Tehama County, CA.
No problem
Excellent video. Where the caulking is cracked or separated would you remove the old caulking before resealing?
Thanks, Rick. You are correct, the old silicone should be removed and then sealed with new.
Is it best just a Pull The Olde sealing off like around the stove vent and items like that on the outside and reseal versus going back on top of the old ?
Yes, the proper way of resealing is to scrape off what you can of the old stuff and then seal new silicone/sealant.
What was the name of the tape used along the inside edge of the slideout? Turbon or something similar?
Any of the seal tapes will work.
