Slide Out Weather Seals
Periodically check all seals and gaskets on the slide out walls for
proper fit and operation. Check the condition of the slide tubes (not
the hydraulic ram) under the slide out, and if needed use bearing
grease for ease of operation.
Slide outs are not designed to have a 100% air-tight seal.
However, you will find that the best seal possible can be achieved
with pro-active maintenance and proper use. Occasional
adjustment of the slide out room to prevent water or air intrusion
may be necessary under normal operation.
With normal adjustments, the slide out may not appear to be
perfectly level within the slide out opening of the RV sidewall. This
is a normal occurrence. Further, slide out adjustments may result
in decal or paint line alignment concerns. The failure of paint or
decals to line up after slide out adjustments does not require
attention and repainting or applying new decals is not necessary or
covered under the Gulf Stream Coach, Inc. Limited Warranty.
AWNINGS
Manually-operated or electric awnings installed on your RV are
optional and/or may have been added at the factory or by your
dealer. Proper use, care, and maintenance procedures for awnings
are included in the literature provided with the awning. Complete
operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting information on your
awning is available from the awning manufacturer’s Web site.
Awnings are designed to provide shade and protection from the
sun. The effects of wind and rain on an awning are unpredictable
and can cause severe damage to the awning and/or the vehicle. If
wind or extended periods of rain are expected, roll up the awning. It
is recommended that if leaving the RV unattended for a length of
time, retract the awning to avoid unexpected weather conditions.
Power Awning Operation
Press and hold the “OUT” Patio Awning switch until the awning is
extended to the desired position, then release the switch. Press
and hold the “IN” switch to retract the awning, making sure it is fully
retracted and snug against the exterior wall.
