Has anyone done a repair on a torn slideout bladder themselves? Looks like I just developed a significant leak top dead center on my seal. I'd like to make a permanent repair, but failing that, I just need to seal it enough to deflate the seal and get the slide out, then hopefully reinflate it. Thanks, Woody.
Someone used a 2 part mix for a temp fix.. Permanent fix includes replacement and a new manifold..

Try Aquaseal. It has worked for some leaks. Depends on size and location.
Your 01 Nedthe whole room pulled out to replace the bladder. I have seen tire inner tube repair kits work for a short while.
Bladder repair not a DIY job. Suggest HWH in Iowa or A Nacogdoches TX facility

There's places in Washington, Oregon and San Diego that can do that job also.
Agree on other places for repair
My experience with Oregon Motorcoach hit and miss - mostly good with a couple of much less so.......which is why I did not recommend but they are capable of the repair -
I just had my Bladder repaired at Oregon Motor Coach, Eugene Or. . Their shop is spotless, wonderful staff and would rate their performance as high a number as is possible... The repair on my 2001 U320 required they have the coach for a few days, and YES the slide has to be removed. The slide works so well, I probably should have had them check it or service it a few years ago !

What place in San Diego can replace the bladders? Any good reviews?
Thanks,
Kurt
I had my bedroom bladder done at "Temecula Valley RV ". Was very happy with the outcome. They are in Murrieta/ Temecula just north of San Diego.
I repaired my bladder air leak using gel crazy glue then coating with 3M 5200. Repaired 2 months ago still holding so far. A friend repaired his the same way using gel crazy glue and coating with Sickaflex 221. Still holding after six months. Mine was a pin hole leak. His was a split about 1/4 inch long.
Thank you Richard
Kurt, if you contact them, ask about dropping coach off the day they will start work on it. Otherwise you will be leaving it with them for a month or more as they are very busy.
Excellent advice, thanks again Richard. Bladders are fine now, but its only a matter of time with any of them :-)
Did you get another Ftravel?
Ask for Erik or Travis
I second them and tell them David from Las Vegas sent you.. He has done a ton of work on ours
