Slide leak

To your question: 

"Has anyone had leakage around the hole that the pin drops into? that is real close to where the water appears to be dropping from."  Yes, we experienced this same situation with our coach. 

In our case, it only occurred during a heavy rain. I think water built-up on the awning, then "dumped" over the edge onto the roof of the slide in the front corner.  While at the Newell factory, I had them look into the problem. They thought maybe it was leaking along the top edge of the slide. They applied butal caulk along the top edge and sides of the slide.  Thought it was fixed until the next heavy rain! Not. 

In our case the water dripped/ran in, not on the wall, but just behind the valance.  Upon further inspection and water tests with a hose, I found the leak!  It was at the Pin Hole.  After "digging out" the old caulk around the fitting and recaulking - no more leak - and yes I tested my fix by running water from a hose directly on the slide roof in that area.

You said you applied silcone around the Pin Hole, but maybe you need to re-examine this area.  Hope this helps.

 

Sounds like the same. Mine leaks behind the valance as well. Tomorrow is supposed to be a clear no rain day. I will clean caulk and check with water hose the pin hole.

Thanks so much for the reply, can’t wait to have a 2 slide coach again :-)
