Well, it looks like coach 540 will have all new slide seals soon.
Went to flush the toilet yesterday and it barely hissed when I pulled the handle. Walked outside and I could hear the air hissing out of the bedroom slide seal. Doh.
So I'm trying to assess whether to have someone do the work or try to do it myself. We're at least a few hours away from anyone capable (read: that I trust) of doing it and even of those that I've called, their timelines are pretty far out.
So I'm wondering a couple things:
1. How hard is it to get the slide in? Does the whole bed have to come apart to get to the guts of the slide? I couldn't find the steps to bring the over-retract the slide anywhere. How long does it take?
2. Does anyone know someone in Southern California that has done this or they would trust doing it? I've tried Brian Miller but he is tied up for a few weeks out.
I know the actual seal installation itself is fairly easy, I watched them do the salon seal last year. It's the over-retraction of the slide that's the wildcard for me.
