Slide Seals & Awnings

I agree with you on all the measures mentioned, in addition I would apply a good coat of wax on all sides of the slide that way the seal does not get pinched on the retraction cycle. I had a slide seal go bad on me last year the seal cost was $2900.00 plus labor to install, we were in the West Coast when the seal burst I call Mira Loma CA, they said they would charge 12-18 hrs to remove and install new seal, also called Marathon they quote the same numbers. We made one more call to Liberty their quote was 4-6 hour if I get my own slide from Prevost which I did. the total bill for the labor was $600.00. So in all the total bill was $3500.00. Slide seal is costly the best way to reduce the coach annual bills is to maintain the slide and stay away from shedding trees that can damage the slides paint as well as the seal.
