Forum Discussion
The biggest cause of slide leaks is debris on the top of the slide causing damage to the gaskets when the slide is retracted.
I can't speak to other makes, but Jayco switched to a different system on our 2015, which uses four guides on each slide, so there is much less flexing and lateral movement of the slide. There are also two sets of gaskets, so the slide is much less likely to leak.
If you're within driving distance of Middlebury Indiana, take the factory tours (they have one for the campers and one for the motorhomes). The tours are free, and are very impressive.
The visitors center also has a dozen or so models to look at, and you'll really like the people. We just spent 4 days there having some work done on the Redhawk. While we were there, we played tourist, as there is a lot to see and do in the area (and we pigged out in the Amish restaurants!). One of the largest flea markets in the country is there, so hide the wife's credit card! lol
Enjoy whatever rig you get, and be safe!
