No snow accumulation here in the FL Panhandle, but did get a few large, fluffy flakes a couple of days ago...This little Trail-Lite B+ 211S works just fine for the two of us. Only a problem cropped up...The inside seal of the slide has cracked, most likely from the tension of the 'tension bars' used to prevent the slide from opening while vehicle in motion...Has anyone experienced this problem and did you have to replace the whole seal? Thank you.

No snow, huh? Some of us can't even get to our RV until the weather warms up and melts the snow. Our RV is stored indoors, but the main door of the building is about 75' from the street. The street was plowed by the city and left a ridge of snow about 4' high and hard as a rock next to the curb. Can walk to the building and go inside to check on everything, but unless we hire a tractor or skid loader with a scoop likely will not move the RV out.

As to the slide, are you talking about the seal on the top you can see when the slide is out? If I recall we have two (2) seals. One that looks like a flat strip on the side of the RV and then a flap that sweeps the slide roof (much like a windshield wiper). We do not use the slide very much as we usually don't stay more than one night. Really opens up the inside area when we do.

Can't help you much on the replacement question. One time we got some rain inside when the right side of the RV was lower than the left. A driving rain hit the roof of the slide and ran against the RV with force and worked it's way inside. Now we park with the left front tire as the lowest point. Did you get a pamphlet on the slide with your unit? It may provide some phone numbers or contact name. I wouldn't think the "tension bars" or "slide-lock" would cause a problem, but anything is possible.
