I have Valid slides with no slide toppers.

Lately, I keep having issues with water coming in during rain.  Each time, I have gone up and found a tiny stick or a leaf that gets caught across the slide seal, and it acts like a wick and sucks a ton of water inside the coach, atop the slide, where it then proceeds to run everywhere and make a huge mess.

When this first happened in the fall during the hurricane, on my #1 slide, I was able to bring the slide in and climb up inside the coach with my ladder and clean out all manner of small organic debris, dirt, and other crap and get the whole "channel" very clean.

But on some of my slides, the design of the cabinetry, trim, or other interior things makes it hard or impossible to access that channel.  And, in all cases where I can reach anyway, I'm doing it half blind, on a ladder, with my head squished into the ceiling.

This time, I got on the slides outside, deflated the seals, held the rubber wiper up with one hand, and reached in with my other hand and/or a small tool and tried to clean the channels out from the outside (with the slides fully extended).  On two of the slides, this seemed to work pretty well:  I pulled out tons of tiny leaves, some hard seeds or berries, and other junk.  On one slide, the clearance between the coach and the slide roof was too small for my fingers to fit.  And on the #1 slide, well, I already cleaned that one from the interior before.

I'm curious:  does anyone else find that they have to get up there and clean these things out every so often, just to avoid a flood during the next rainstorm?  I can't find much mention of it as a regular thing, and there's certainly no easy way to do it (unless you're pulling the slide out for a major repair, like a new seal or wiper).  It just seems like kind of a design flaw to me.  Or maybe I'm just really unlucky with stuff getting trapped up there.  Or maybe I just camp underneath too many trees!

Any one know anything about this Newell 2003 40ft @ Panterra Lux Coach. Vin shows as  Vin   1N9406X8X310011652 when I do a vin search shows invalid #.
We have a 2000 American Eagle and are very pleased with it. Looking for a Newell

These are the common light switches in my coach.  They are black, on/off and do not illuminate.  They are Carling Technology switches.  Part #RA901-RB-B-0-N.

I would guess that these same switches were used in coaches from 1997 into the early 2000s.

I ordered them from Mouser Electronics.  I received them in just over 24 hrs.  Great service!  Mouser part #691-RA901RBB0N

The new one is on the bottom:      

If you use gmail as your email address this is an interesting trick to help keep spammers from harvesting your email address.  What the article says is that gmail ignores any . in your address and also ignores anything after + if you add either to your address.  So if your address is [email protected] and you need to sign up somewhere you don't want to get emails from just add an extra . or two.  Then if the spammer doesn't use gmail servers that email address should not work for them.

Michael and Robert:

you guys were talking about mid entry 06s?

Had the valance lights on.  Went to shut them off at the end of the night.  The switch would not go to the off position and had obviously gone bad. 

The switch is at the entry door on a panel with several other light switches and the master light switch.  I removed the six screws holding the panel & pulled it back.  There were two wires going to the valance switch.  The blue wire was connected and appeared normal.  The white wire was burnt back about 3 inches.  Both wires were so hot you couldn't touch them.  Using pliers I tried to remove the white wire from the switch and the entire terminal pulled out of the back of a melted switch.  The plastic that divides the two wires was totally melted and gone.
