How would I do a pressurized air leak test as westend recommended?
Here is one way seal-tech. The test was costing $125 in 2010.
Some people have made up their own system.
One thing to take into consideration, that happened to me.
I bought an A.Fox TC slideout model that was a wood framed unit in 2004. 2004 and prior years had many water leaking issues. I bought it because everyone praised the unit and how well it was insulated.
I replaced it in 2008 with a Lance non slide unit after having to rebuild the AF at a $15k loss.
Using the new 2008 unit at the same campground in the same basic below zero weather conditions, my propane consumption improved by 60% . Plus, i could never get the AF above 65F. It did help to pull in the slide but i had to climb onto the roof in order to clear off the ice/snow on the slides top. Slide-top awnings made the chore more difficult , dont use a slide topper,the wind blows snow under it and you can't get under to chip away the ice.
