Previous rig had a diagonal hairline crack about 3 1/2" long on the left bottom side of the bedroom slide. Drilled a small home and put a small dab of caulk to prevent water from entering. Watched it for a couple of years and 10,000+ miles with no further enlargement. Finally put a small strip of Eternabond tape on it. It would open just a tiny bit when hitched and close when unhitched. I believe my crack was a result of a screw that held the rubber seal on and close to the corner.
New rig has a strip installed vertically at the same location.
