Tidbits: Slide Rooms Leak When It Rains?
Slide Room Leaks.
Something that has come to the attention
of John Davis is the potential for a leak in some slide rooms.
On the roof of the forward slides you’ll
see a trim piece that is installed where the roof of the slide meets the side
walls(short walls). This trim is adhered with Sika flex, and in some coaches
the metal was not treated properly prior to application.
The stress on this joint when the slide
operates causes a good amount of flex and may cause the trim to come loose.
This will create a pretty good funnel
for rain water to get into the walls of the slide and cause severe damage. A
good inspection can save a lot of heart
A Service Center with knowledge of the Country Coach product lines
will be able to help you
assess whether your motorcoach may have this potential leak issue.
