Slide Canopy / Water & Snow

Recommended Posts

6 spaces for pull thru's....bet they are hard to get.  I think my 45 would be hard to navigate in there!  The rate $$$ is darn good.

I bet your right, I told them back in would be fine. Rates for around here are great, which had me a bit concerned. At that price you could be in for a real experience you might not want to remember in the NE. 

I'm only there for the band playing that weekend :P, heard them in 2016 at a Campground we stayed at and was blown away, absolutely the best cover band I have ever heard! Ill be dancing on the picnic table, and not falling through anymore :lol:

For CG advice, might want to start a separate thread.  Not likely to have many read it under a slide-canopy-water-snow thread.

Thanks.

Yeah, thought of that but wanted MYPopslou to get a notification on this thread, no way to "tag" someone on a new one and a PM wouldn't put it out for others interested in that area.

Joe & Brett.  Catch 22? :)

Think by now, we have depleted, snow/ice and rain removal on top of slides! Probably campgrounds also. :lol:

Jleamont, got your personal message, I have not tried this campground but I knew it was there. It is a lot bigger than I thought it was and for this area rates are not bad. Let me know when you are going maybe I will meet you there.

Many Folks use to put a soccer ball or other ball in the middle of the slide out awning.

Differences in coaches might dictate the size. They used different things to push them in and out. On a full wall slide, it might take two and some kind of affair you screw together, t push them in and out. I think I would on a ball that wouldn't deflate install a long cord to, to pull them out or perhaps two cords and pull it into place. Our squeegie pole would be a bit short or a full wall slide......and don't forget the balls are in there.

Some awnings might take a bit more tension on the rewind spring to hep a bit too.

It is not a heck of a lot of fun putting things away, or disconnecting when wife pus in the slide.

She thinks it is pretty funny though. On the other hand a good rinse before heading out cools you down pretty good.

TT.  Not when the water is from melted ice or snow and it's near freezing outside!  Regular water on slide don't bother me, just tilt the coach.  There is also run out slots on each side of the slide inside the coach, so any water that comes in goes right back out.

There is a inflatable bag sold on line that can be put on top of the slide and under the cover to lift it just slightly to let the water drain off.  Probably will not keep snow off because snow will not flow off like water.  Best to just close the slide in when it is snowing.

What make, model, are you ref to?  Some, like my current coach, don't have more than 4" of open space between slide & slide awning!  My last coach, when this post was written, had 10"+.

Excuse me, my box is exactly 15'5" from flange edge to flange edge. Would the 15.5 work for mine or should I be looking for a 16' model.

You are talking about your slide, right. Did you have slide toppers before? I would look at the 16' one. Keep in mind it will help but won't keep all dirt and leaves off the top of your slide but it helps.

Carl, I think he is talking the length of the slide.
