Default slideout leak

We have a 2014 Gulfstream Conquest that has a slide out leak from almost the day we bought it. We bought it 4/30/2013, had it back in shop within 2 weeks. So far, is back in shop for 3rd time. So far they have replaced the outer seal with a thin crappy seal that leaked even more. Took it back within 2 days, they kept it for 3 weeks replacing seal with proper seal. Then it leaked for the 3rd time. Took it back, they said inner seal was too short letting it leak into camper. That was 3 weeks ago, now they are waiting for a rail to go on bottom side of slide to prevent water leak according to a tech bulletin. so far they only time the camper has left the yard was to go back to shop. Have not been able to use it for camping yet. Maybe by fall we can go camping. Don't trust the dealer tho. Customer Service rep seems to be very limited on what he can or wants to accomplish. I have almost forgotten what it looks like.......

I have a triple slide that had leaks, the water invariably ran down the seals and into the carpet and onto the underlayment. Slides seemed to close correctly. Seals were in good condition and of the OEM size and type. It has, evidently, been a common flaw right out of the Gulfstream factory.


Fortunately my repairman was a factory installer for many years and was very aware of the problem. He made, for lack of a better description, little cups or drip pans at the bottoms of each seal with drain tubes that catch the water and direct it outside. These are either not visible or barely visible - and a hard to get to place for the d.i.y'er. This procedure fixed the leak issues for us 100%, and was as I recall about $500 in labor for all three slides. It was not something I feel I could do myself even being fairly handy, as it took experience to not only identify the issue but to construct and implement the solution.



His name is Gerald Armstrong, owner of Armstrong RV Repair in Oregon near Eugene, and his phone number is 541-744-8050



I trust him 100% and he's done lots of other work for me.
