I seem to have the same problem with a cable-operated bedroom slide leaking. Would you mind sharing what it cost you to have an extensive job like that done and how long was the coach in the shop?

I drive a 2007 Damon Astoria and had the same problem. It wasn't until I observed it from a step ladder while my wife operated the slide did I realize that the problem was a worn bushing in the end of the awning tube which allowed the awning to rub on the slide on the way out, when it is under most tension. There was no problem on the way in. Problem solved with installation of a new part available from A&E.

I cleaned the surface of the slide and applied a bead of clear RTV silicone top to bottom. When it hits the rubber wipe on the way out, it flips it out. Same thing happens on the way it. I applied it with the slide out because I do not have good access to the slide wall when it is retracted.
