- HOW TO: Maintain RV Slide-Out Seals
- URL
- URL
- Description
- RV slide-out rooms have both inner and outer seals (I also refer to them as gaskets, but seals is probably the more accurate word). They keep the slides sealed against the elements whether they are extended or retracted. Keeping them working smoothly is a quick and easy once-a-year maintenance item... probably the simplest task on our annual spring cleaning list! lol Although there are commercial products available for lubricating slideout seals, when we picked up our new motorhome from Newmar, they recommended that we simply rub them with baby powder / talcum powder once a year, and nothing else would be required. This has worked well for us over the 7 years we've owned our RV, and avoids the cost of commercial products. Another benefit of baby powder is that it doesn't attract dust and dirt the way many liquid products can. Our slide-out room seals look pretty much brand new, even after nearly 7 years of full-timing. If your manufacturer recommends some other method, by all means follow their recommendation, but we're pleased with this method and highly recommend giving it a try. Be sure to confirm that all methods and materials used are compatible with your particular recreational vehicle. Every type of motorhome, motorcoach, fifth wheel, travel trailer, bus conversion, camper and toy hauler is different, so your systems may not be the same as ours.

- Finally, a virtually maintenance-free slide-out room! The Solera Slide-Out Sleeve by Lippert Components has been praised in its customer feedback for its ease of use and its superiority to other solutions such as awning toppers. Today's RV slide-out rooms provide an added measure of comfort and leisure, just the types of things you want in your home away from home. The problem, however, is that slide-outs are prone to leakage. To combat leaks, manufacturers install seals, drip rails, and/or water troughs to divert and capture rain water. These water catching devices are usually mounted on the inside of the vehicle which makes overflow and mold in the vehicle a constant reality.

- NOW WE KNOW: Kitchen Slide-Out Plumbing
- URL
- URL
- Description
- We returned from a 5-week trip away from the RV to find the drain pipe from the kitchen sinks leaking. Since we've already completed the repair, we decided to create a new video series called "Now We Know" which will be more casual, unedited, vlog-type informational videos about general RV topics, rather than "How To" videos. Our kitchen is in a slide-out, and we always wondered how the sink drains connected from the slide-out to the RV. Once we removed the access panel to find the plumbing, we learned how Newmar uses a flexible drain pipe to connect the slide-out plumbing to the RV. Before you write about it... we know that our front curb-side slide makes huge "snap, crackle, pop" sounds when it runs (the counter and woodwork creaking). It's done that for years... but it works fine! Just sounds particularly bad on video. lol Your camper, 5th wheel or trailer may have a different mechanism, but this view into the plumbing of our motorhome might give you some insight into how RV manufacturers connect slide-out-mounted plumbing into the RV, allowing the flexibility required to install plumbing into a slide-out at all.
