I've camped many a time in the rain, leveled with the slide out and no leaks. Last night, seeing a weather warning ahead, I stopped at a WM to get new wipers, etc., it started a light mist, so I decided to put the slide out and clean the carpet while it blew over. I took a nap and woke up to a windy thunderstorm. The fabric under the top slide part that seals to the side started to get wet. I put the slide back in and wiped the water off. So now I'm not sure if I have an actual leak that requires a new slide seal, or if I made a fatal newbe mistake by putting the slide out in a storm without leveling first. In the morning when I got out and looked at it, I was leaning a lot more to the right than I thought, or should have been. The slide goes out the driver side, and I was leaning to the passenger side. There wasn't much water, and it dried up in a few hours. I'm thinking with the strong wind and rain that woke me up, it somehow blew in. The seal looks good, but on the slide where the seals come together at the corners, they don't meet, I was thinking of filling the gaps at the corners with silicone. Or, should be replacing it with a new slide seal?
