Section 5: Slideout Systems
After the slideout is extended, visually inspect the slideout and the
surrounding area to make sure the slideout has extended properly and
has adequate clearance from any outside obstructions.
If the slideout is equipped with rubber seals, verify that the corners of
the black rubber seal are set up correctly. The seal corners are cut at
a 45° angle. The top of the outside seal must overlap the side of the
seal to avoid the possibility of water penetration. On the inside seal,
the side seal should overlap the top.
™ NOTE: For long-term storage it is recommend the room be
closed (retracted).
