We have our 2003, 2880RL on a seasonal site in northern Wisconsin.We have had a lot of rain this summer and this past weekend, I discovered that the bottom of the slide moldings, inside the camper, are wet.I assume our seals are not working the way they should. Has anyone replaced them themselves or is that a job I need to take it in to the dealer to do? The moldings are a particle board covered with the vinyl wallpaper. The material has swollen, mostly just a couple of inches up the board, but one is wet about 12 high.

Thanks,

Judi,
To me, that seems to me to be a short-lived seal setup. Our unit is a 2000 and has been on the road full time for 10 years. Our seals seem to be okay. I was cautioned by my dealer to periodically dust them with baby powder to keep them supple. It seems to work. I just take the baby powder and put it on a rag and wipe the slide seals every once in a while. Which reminds me, it's been a while so I'd better get busy.
