Hi all,

I'm new here. My wife and I just got ahold of a 2002 3575RL from some former full-timers. We are moving up from our 29' TT with no slides.

My question is "What procedures do you follow when running the slides in or out?" In particular:

1) Do you get very much water inside if you need to retract the slides during downpour? Or should you anticipate rain and retract the slides prior to a storm?

2) Do you keep a set of towels handy to mop up when the slides are wet?

3) I'm not small at 225lbs. How well does the built in ladder handle a big guy? How slick is a rubber roof when wet?

4) Any particular do's/don'ts you care to mention?

Thanks

Eric
