    !@#$^&* slide out rachet tensioners!

    So I definitely understand the importance of securing your slide-outs while you're in transit. What I struggle with is the hand-tightened rachet type tensioners that I use for my GT 374TS Motorhome. I'm wondering if anyone has an opinion on using these or, more importantly if there are...

    Slide question

    What type of slides are on my 259fkds? When I open and close the living room slide and it comes to the end of its run it will make a rata tat tat sound like a machine gun. Is that normal? The smaller bedroom slide doesn't make that sound.

    Slide out manufacturer

    I just purchased a 2020 Cedar Creek Hathaway Edition. I'm brand new to RV'ing. Is the slide out manufacturer identified somewhere on the slide out? I'm interested in whether or not the slide out mechanicals need lubricating and it seems that this depends on the manufacturer.

    Need to replace front vertical wiper seal on living room slide out

    While working on the RV today I noticed the top of the wiper seal on my living room slide out is damaged. I've read quite a few posts here about replacing the seals but am unclear about something. Are the D seal and wiper seal one part or two different parts? The D seal by itself is in very good...
