Just a question.. We've had 5 units (1 TT, 2 Class Cs, 2 Class As) over the years with slides and have never had a leak. I've always made it a point to keep the top/bottom/sides of the slide unit clean and regularly use silicone spray to lubricate the gaskets (making sure to clean them off on a regular basis, too). That, along with making sure the rollers under the slide were kept lubricated always kept them working like new and watertight. Having lived in Florida most of my life I have driven/pulled them through some serious rain without issue. We now have a Winne with the seemingly tiny Lippert slide system. I'm following their maintenance procedure and after a year, so far so good.......
I think you hit the nail on the head...just like everything else, preventive maintenance is key!
