If your RV is equipped with a slide out there are
several precautions that should be taken before
operation of the slide room:
1.
Make sure you have clearance on the
exterior.
2.
Make sure your slide out awning is
unlocked.
3.
Make sure that all interior items are
clear.
4.
Make sure that you have sufficient
battery power.
If you slide out room rails to move in or out you
may have a low battery. Make sure that the
battery is fully charged and try the operation
again (the slide out will not operate on the
converter alone, also, a battery that reads 12
volts may not be at full amperage capacity).
Your slide room responds to increased amps to
stop. If your room is inoperable, turn your
battery disconnect switch off. This will allow
you to manually push your room in until you get
to an authorized Glacier RV service center.
SLIDE OUT CIRCUIT BREAKER SWITCH
If attempting to move the slide and its
perceived that the motor has no power, check
the 12 volt 50 amp mini-breaker located in the
electrical panel to make sure it has not been
tripped. Reset the breaker as needed.
SLIDE OUT WEATHER SEALS
Periodically check all seals and gaskets on the
slide out walls for proper fit and 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 proactive
maintenance and proper use.
VEHICLE MAINTENANCE
Generally, sealants are designed to last more
than a few years, however, varying weather
conditions and different climates can
breakdown those sealants in as little as 1 year.
Probably the most important area to check is
the roof. Generally, this area should be check
twice a year. Other areas that will need
attention include the moldings used on the side
walls and the entry door edge moldings. Since
these areas are more accessible for periodical
checks, it is recommended to inspect the side
walls and windows every time you wash your
RV. Sometimes washing the side walls can
actually remove some necessary sealants. If
you find an area on your side walls that needs
resealing, a clear silicone, or one that matches
the color of the existing sealant should be used.
The last few areas that might need attention
are those around the clearance lights, tail lights
and around accessories and windows. All these
areas can be resealed using a common silicone
based sealant/adhesive. However, when
sealing windows, be careful to keep from
sealing over any weep holes. These holes are
designed to drain any water that may have
found its way to the inside of a window or
mirror.
Keeping up on the maintenance or your
sealants will keep your RV looking beautiful for
a long time. If you are not sure what type of
sealants should be used on any part of your RV,
a simple phone call to your dealer or service
center for direction will prove beneficial.
If you plan on using wax on your side walls you
should use a marine type wax. Marine type wax
is best suited for fiberglass surfaces. Regular
automotive wax is suitable for painted surfaces
of the RV.
