Gentlemen,
Inspired by your recently successful repair, I'm resuming my fix of a slowish (well, not that slow - compressor is running about a quarter of the time) leak in my bedroom slide. The air hiss is coming from the bottom of the slide where the seal diverges. No sound in the wheel well where the hose is visible. I'm hoping to do an exploratory procedure to find the exact problem. Further hoping that it will be a repairable hose joint or re-crimping rather than a full replacement.
- Will I be able to see all the involved components if the slide is over-retracted, or should I remove the sprayed-on foam in the wheel well as well?
- Should I get over this naive hope and assume the seal is shot, limiting the operation to one time?
Any advice appreciated - thanks!
Chuck
