What kind of seal does a slide out RV need?
Rubber barriers provide a waterproof seal that prevents rainwater or road splash from entering the top, sides, or bottom of your RV’s slide out. Thetford’s rubber seal lubricant prevents the rubber seals from cracking or deteriorating so they can do their job for longer. As with anything rubber, sunlight is the enemy.
How can I replace the slide on my RV?
The first step is to identify the type of seals that are currently on the RV and decide what you want to use to replace them. You can do this by getting down underneath the slide and looking up to see the profile of the seal. This is also called a cross section.
When do rubber seals start to dry out on a RV?
When an RV has been in use for a year or two, rubber seals can start to dry out if not taken care of properly. If an RV is parked under trees, for example, leaves and twigs can collect on top of the slide out and get pulled in when you retract the slide damaging your seals.
What should I lubricate my slide out seal on?
