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
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.
Great video! Question.. I recently was doing maintenance on my roof and had the slide out. I noticed a round piece of foam that came out from under the sweep seal. I didn’t really know what to do with it other than to push it back under it and hope it doesn’t keep protruding in the future. Was that foam piece supposed to be connected to something? I have a Jayco 295bhs if that helps..
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 .
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 ?
These things trailers are made terrible manufacturers should make these repairs 3-4 years old and we as custermers are still paying payments on theses POS
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

Glad I could help!
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.

How to you remove old sealant caulk so I’m not putting new on top of old without damaging anything
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.
Its a good idea to once a year go around your camper with your sealant gun.
Yes, we agree!
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.
