Slide Leaks

[cappy]

Are leaking slides a common problem with Winnebago? I purchased a 2006 Sightseer 1/13/06 after 2 days the Dealer agreed to replace it because of water damage caused by a leak in both slides. The new RV was delivered 6/21. After the first rain I discovered the new RV also leaks at the lower corners of the slides. Am I the only person having this problem?

Our '03 leaked at both bottom corners of the front (galley/lounge) slide, only when the slide was out. After efforts by 3 or 4 dealers, the problem was finally traced to water coming down the inside of both side seals. We were far away from our original dealer during that time due to military service. When we finally figured out where the water was coming from, our original dealer (in consultation with the factory) resolved the problem when we were able to get back to them. The bedroom slide had no leak problems.

Leaking slides seem to happen in just about all brands. Winnebago is using a newer double flap seal that seems to have reduced leaks in their products.

My 2004 Sightseer had a leak in the bedroom slide. Two dealers tried to fix it with no luck.
Some dealers have a pressure system that can help find leaks and looking back I should have gone to one.

In any case I made an appointment at the Winnebago factory. They found the leak but went ahead and replaced the old style seal with the new style. It hasn't leaked since (a year ago)

I have a 2005 Voyage and am experiencing similar problems. Both my living room and bedroom slides are leaking at the bottom corner when the slides are extended. The rv is level snd the slides are fully extended. This has happened on two separate occasions during rain storms. I have an appointment with my dealer in two weeks, so hopefully they will be able to fix it.
