Unsure whether this should be called a gasket or a seal or a wiper. It is *UNDER* the slide-out. A couple of sections are missing which allows cold air to come under the slide floor and on to my feet when I am sitting on my recliner. Bugs as well.

I need to replace it, but every search I try just shows people replacing seals/wipers on the *sides* of a slide-out.

So what do I call this piece, so I can find and order some replacement material?

What year, model do you have and a picture would be helpful. My 3 slides do NOT have a seal or gasket UNDER the slide out. Was that original or a "field fix" by the previous owner?

I had a2013 Thor Palazzo 33-1 and I had 3 open spaces under the main slide, it also let in cold air and bugs under the dinette and couch. My solution was to make 3 cutouts out of flexible styrofoam to fit in the spaces and number them to be sure they fit in the space they were made for, I also printed a sign to place under the button to move the slide so I wouldn’t forget they were there.

I like this idea, great for the colder nights as the bottom is the 'least sealed' when the slide is out. I may be able to use pool noodles, would it be so simple??

Thanks for the pic. Please check your profile on the left and you do not see the RV information. Try https://www.pellandent.com/ they provided the "seals" for me slide outs when they needed replacement. Call them and see if they can give you what you need. Good luck.
