In 2006, I found I had a leak around the bedroom slide on our 2005 Itasca Horizon 40AD. I took our coach to Nolan's RV in Denver for warranty repair and they replaced the seals with the newer double wipe seals.
I now find I have another leak in the bedroom slide. After inspecting the slide seals I found the vertical side seals were cut almost 2 inches too short. This leaves an opening at the top of the seal on each side of the slide. See Photos. This sorry installation mistake was covered with a piece of rubber trim that has since fallen off.
I called Winnebago and learned that the double wipe seal is no longer made. They now have a new single wipe seal that is used on the newer coaches. I plan to have my slide seals replaced at Steve Casey's RV in Denver.
I also learned that Winnebago has a new extrusion trim piece for the bottom edge of the slide panels, facing fore and aft when the slide is extended. This new trim piece fits flush and is less prone to causing leaks. I may have it replaced while they are replacing the slide seals.
Any cautions or concerns with this repair?
