I’m an rv tech , I sometimes cut a 45° in corners. Whats your opinion

[@missionrvservices]

@@2mshiftboots345 if you’re able to do that, that’s fine. It’s just another way to do it.

[@garylawson5230]

Do you change the rubber on the slide out its self

[@missionrvservices]

@@garylawson5230 we also change the wiper seals if they need it. We find that most times it’s the bulb seals that need replacing. Probably because those get neglected the most.

[@TheDouglash]

In the process of installing the new seal (that has the metal V) the rubber is pressed to tightly together to slide in place. Should I spread this spit before putting it in place?

[@TheDouglash]

Oh and our seal goes all the way around the slide out opening

[@missionrvservices]

That may be an indicator that your slideout needs an adjustment, right to left, if one side is easier than the other.

[@glassmancanada]

Is there a second seal on the inside side of the slide? Or does the double bulb seal when the slide is in or out?

[@missionrvservices]

Some do have one on the inside as well, but this travel trailer did not. Those with bulb seals on the inside, those bulb seals rarely go bad because they’re not out in the elements.

What was the part used? Part number and size? Any info will help! Thank you!

[@missionrvservices]

Do you mean the seal? a.co/d/b29vGTL

[@anthonymonday6831]

@missionrvservices yes, thanks for the quick reply. I see this is unavailable so I ordered the AP brand same size. Thanks again!

@@anthonymonday6831 no problem!

10/8/23 would a 9:15 soap suds help

[@missionrvservices]

Soap might help to get it on there but my only hesitation would be that if there’s any resistance, the slippery-ness could knock it back out of there. But it’s worth a try.
