Rain problem.
I posted briefly about this before, last time it rained (it wasn’t THAT hard), it made some wet areas underneath the corners of our slides on that wooden (I’m assuming it’s wood) cover for the bottom of the slides. We have a front den area above the fifth wheel hitch that has opposing slides (with no railing mechanism underneath, just the side rails) and those take the brunt of the water when it rains. The under part of all the slides after last night’s rain made the wooden part all damp and wet as if water had been dripping off of it the whole night.
You can tell that there is water on the rails, as if when it drips down the side of the slide, it just continues to drip underneath the slides and then off from there. It is under ALL the slides, so I’m positive it is not just a leak on one.
It does seem like this would happen to all of them though because of how it happened to all slides?? Is this something to worry about then?? How do you prevent it? I looked up gutters for above the slides but doesn’t seem as if those would do much. It’s almost as if the bottom needs some time of protectant but not sure what I would even cover it with???
