slide button cover?

I have a small slide in the bedroom that requires a slide locking bar to hold the top against the seal (from factory) there is a sticker next to the slide button warning against movement until the bar is removed but I would like a more idiot-proof way of covering/locking the slide button until the bar is removed..Any ideas?

Carlon E98GFCM was my part number you are correct.

Note: I had to remove some of the plastic from the top of the half that attaches to the wall to allow the slide button to fit properly inside the cover (pic).

Happy Camping.


Great, thx for confirming. I will be on the hunt for one locally here.

Hi Roundtwo, do you have the Carlon part number? I think it is E98GFCM. We don't have Menard's here, and they want about $10 to ship.

Thx,

I saw a good solution at an open house at our local RV dealer that was common to one brand (which I have forgotten). The slide switch was activated by a key. The key was attached to the slide locking bar. When the bar is in place you can't activate the in/out switch.

On my previous TT the slidelock had a string with a bright orange tag on it dangling so I'd have to be blind to miss it

I used a clear plastic bar soap case with a hinged lid I got at Walmart for $1. Remove switch and detach the three wires. Cut hole in case, run wires they hole and reattach to switch. Screw switch with case back onto wall. Fits perfect with my switch, yours may differ.

I have a similar problem in that I need to remember to check the driver seat position before moving the slide. I placed a small piece of cardboard (part of a file folder) taped over the switch with the reminder to check driver's seat before moving slide. I have to lift up the reminder to operate the switch.

Not an option,I did that once, the top of my slide tips out and had 2" of snow on top of my slide INSIDE the RV as it does not seal against the top (It was a wind driven snow in March).

I put an outdoor outlet metal flip cover with a spring on my main slide.
