Good point on the side seal....I think I may have notched that when I replaced the floor so that it would seal better against the side. I wasn't thinking drip point. I will go ahead and order new seals fro the sides.
These are wipers only...the bulb seal is on the slide flange. When the slide goes in, the wipers get turned the other way and the bulb then seats against the side of the camper. I know the bulb makes contact all the way around and seals nicely with the slide closed.
I started looking at Slide Toppers...is there such a thing as having one that's TOO wide? The slide is 12' 8" wide, I was thinking a 14' topper would give me 8" of overhang on each side of the slide and protect the top corners where the seals meet. Most of what I see on campers is about 2" of side overhang, which would be a 13' topper for me. Anybody have any thoughts?
