Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.
We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!
We really love our coach and it is our full time home, but we have an issue when it rains it comes into the bedroom floor on one side of the slide, has anyone had this issue? We have check the rubber and cleaned and treated and it only does it sometimes so we are checking for ideas.
On our 5th wheel at the floor at the point where the slideout opening meets the floor there are small cups mounted into the sub-floor.
I was told these were for the water to drip into as the slideout came in. On two of the cups on ours (one for the bedroom and one for the living room slide) the carpet hung down into the cups. When it rained the water would drip down the slide, into the cup and then the carpet would wick it up and spread out into the floor. We discovered this after an all night heavy rain. There was a puddle in the carpet about a foot out from the wall.
Not only was the carpet trimmed away from the bowls but the factory also ran a heavy bead of clear chalking on the side wall of the slideouts at an angle to direct the water away from the rubber side wipe out from where the bottom of the slide and the wall of the 5th wheel meet when the slide is open. This stopped the water intrusion.
