lkncyclist Report post Posted August 2, 2012 Can anyone give me a remedy for removing excess water buildup on slide out even though it has a topper? In the blowing rain water will gather and when the slide is brought in there is where we have the problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cbenoitiii Report post Posted August 2, 2012 If your coach has leveler jacks, try lowering either the front or rear of the coach before you bring the slides in. If you can get enough of an angle, hopefully the water will run off at the lower end. We've been motorhoming for a long time, and have spent many days/nights in driving rain storms, but never had a problem with water UNDER the slide topper awnings. We've had lots of water build-up on TOP of the slide toppers, but that runs off as we bring the slide in, stopping every so often until the waterfall stops. Good luck.

five Report post Posted August 2, 2012 Have you tried getting on the roof and sweeping off the water prior to pulling in the slides? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RVerOnTheMove Report post Posted August 2, 2012 That's hard to do when the water is under the slide toppers! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hermanmullins Report post Posted August 2, 2012 Allegiance40x, I'm sorry but I don't think it is a good idea getting on the roof when it is wet and moving to the edge to sweep off water. It would be a better idea to bring in the slide a short way and put towels up to absorb the water. This could be done after, as cbenitiii said, you have lowered one sideof the coach so the water could drain off. Then you could use the towels to prevent a mess. It might be a good idea to also have the wipers on the slide checked. they may need to be adjusted or replaces so they can wipe the water off as the slide retracts.

Icefixr66 Report post Posted August 3, 2012 C'mon people, the slide seal is obviously shot! There should be a rubber seal all the way around the slide to squeegee off any water that accumulates. If there is not one, time to get a new coach! JMHO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RVerOnTheMove Report post Posted August 3, 2012 Really, a new coach? Not a new seal? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Icefixr66 Report post Posted August 3, 2012 RVerOnTheMove, What I meant was that if the slide does not have a seal at all, it is time for a new coach. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
five Report post Posted August 6, 2012 Sorry...didn't realize it was UNDER the slide topper. A new seal around the slide top and upper sides should solve your problem. Had that problem with a 5th wheel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
