sidewalls, windows, doors and under carriage of the recreation vehicle. Particular attention needs to be
devoted to ensure these components are maintained to ensure a tight barrier against bulk water intrusion.
The shell should be inspected periodically for tears, gaps, and condition of sealants. Areas that require
maintenance should be resealed utilizing a proven, high quality sealant of similar characteristics as the

slideout is used, it should be inspected to ensure proper operation and sealing. The slideout gaskets
should also be inspected to ensure proper sealing when the slideout is operated.
