Hey John and Kathy, no, its not in a slide. Both the intake venting and the discharge venting are through the side wall of the travel trailer.
This is one problem. Lower and Upper Side vents are NOT the best way to exhaust hot convection air on a refer. When you have upper side vent doors it is best to install a small 12 volt fan blowing OUT the door. This will help remove the hot air after it moves thru the Condensor fins. Normal RV refers(the majority) have a roof vent and this allows the hot air to flow up and out with great ease. So, install that fan. Also a minor drop in LP pressure will have a GREAT effect on RV cooling. Normal pressure is 11.5 inches Water Column(WC). If below 10.5, you will notice lack of correct cooling and there is NO WAY TO DETERMINE PRESSURE WITHOUT A MANOMETER. Just looking at the flame will not tell you anything. Just buy a Manometer for the $50. It will be a great tool to have when RV'ing and you will be a hit with campers and friends if they know you have one. Doug
