slide seals

On the last 2 trips, had noticed water getting in around the BR slide only when closed and traveling. Both trips we went thru heavy, sustained rains and there was water coming in somewhere. Examined the seal around the inside of the slide flanges and found it to be getting old and somewhat deteriorated. Got a new seal from United RV in Fort Worth (if you are in the DFW area, they have way more inventory of parts then McLains/Camping World) and installed it. Leaving tomorrow for 3 weeks in CO and will see if it holds water out now.
Wasn't too hard to do--pulled off old gasket and cleaned surface best I could, then just put the new one on--went way easier than I thought it would. Now just need to run thru some rain while traveling......
