Thanks for this instructional video for it was very informative. That magic eraser was a good tool. I find maintenance tasks a little intimidating at first but they usually turn out to be easier than original thought. Take Care and Keep Exploring The Outdoors.
Great job on the video. I suggest if you have them to use flat nose pliers. They get much better traction on the staples. Avoid using screwdrivers to wedge them out also. Good way to poke a hole in your wall. Also Goo Gone is great for removing adhesive and cleaning. That stuff is also safe for your paint surfaces.
Awesome DYI video. Great timing to do this project with everybody basically being stationary. We don't have slide-out, but I enjoyed video just the same. Thanks for the share.
Nice job, I was lucky my NU-WA 5er came with an aluminum brow over the slides, really helps when it rains and it sheds water away on both sides, it sticks out the ends by about 6" and is 3" deep.
Best instructions on the internet. I wish they would address how much of the wiper should lay against the slide. I don’t want to get it to long or to short. Thanks
Thank you for the detailed videohelps me out alot but when i was checking for the meterials that you used the dicor came up as self leveling- is that correct?
What's your reason for using self leveling Dicor instead of the non self leveling? I thought you don't use the self leveling on the side of the RV b/c it runs.
The reason is I know that is will stick to both the fiberglass and the rubber. You can you other caulks, but I just prefer Dicor. It doesn't self level as much as you would think, once it has been smashed down into the cracks.
Great Video. My top seal has two layers. There is one on top of the slide that has a channel for the "D" seal. There is another one under that one that seams to connect to the the frame of the RV itself above the opening for the slide. It seams to wrap around the frame of the RV and I can't get it off. Any ideas how to pull it off? Thanks
Good question and to be honest RU-vid can be your best friend. Try looking up your particular make and model of RV for a video. There might be some hidden screws inside of the seals that have been sealed over or something. Also, sometimes you can contact the manufacture if the owners manual doesn't help. I can say from experience if the seal doesn't come off with just a little tug there is something holding them on.
Yah I have same thing going on. This wiper seal is a huge pie’s that goes way inside of the camper and its a big complex piece.. nothing like the one in the video. I know cuz I’ve already pulled a piece of it out.
@@stillamitchinmybook6320 You may have a "H" seal which is what I had. Steele Rubber Products RV Products catalog shows an example of a "H" seal and shows where you have to cut the old seal off. Then you install a new seal much like in this video. I replaced the outside part of our "H" seal, inside is in good shape.
I put about 25 to 30 samples in one section. So on our camper there is a separate plastic trim that goes all the way around the slid that is then attached to the fiberglass. The staples go into the plastic trim and not the fiberglass. Thanks so much for watching!
I have a 13' slide that I'm replacing the top seal on. Do you think 1 tube of Dicor is enough to do 13 linear feet? Have to order online so I need get the right amount ahead of time, but I also don't want to order more than I need.
We have had Class A motorhomes in the past but this is our first RV with slides. The inside seal on the big slide is torn, has holes, and missing pieces. Even the good areas don't look like it seals. I don't believe it is the correct seal. How do I find out what seal is correct for my Tiffin Allegro?
Check the owners manual there is usually a section specifically for the slides and it should have a parts list with part numbers. Once you have the part number its is pretty easy to find them there are TONS of websites. If you can't find the part numbers in the manual I'd call a Tiffin specific dealership. They should be able to look up that information for you and maybe even order the parts. They will of course try to talk you into having them install them, but most dealerships FOREVER. Thanks for watching and happy camping!
The link for the Dicor is self-leveling not just sealant. I purchased self-leveling based on your link but I think, for this application, I can't use self-leveling... right?
My flap seals are held down just like the D seals but I can’t reach it because it’s on the inside of the track and not outside. Any ideas on how I can reach it? I already tried an angle drive but there’s not enough clearance
Great Video . I have a problem with my seals leaking and want to replace them . I want to get the magic eraser but can't find the link . Could you tell me where to find one ? Thanks ,Rod
@@HaleyFamily Thanks , I will get one . I have a leak above one slide and I sealed it with Flex Seal Tape yesterday and another big rain is here again . I contacted Mobile Suite so I can get the correct seals . Thanks again and hopefully my flex tape will keep the rain out till I get what I need . Thanks again , Rod
