Locking pin slots in front slide.

May 22, 2014, 01:42:11 pm

Does anyone know where the water drains from the locking pin slots on the roof top of the front slide?  Or in my case possibly they are draining inside the overhead cabinet and running down to the fabric covered header.
Any thoughts?

Tom when I was at FOT this spring they blew my pin lock drain out. It is outboard center bottom edge of slide. Not much of a hole, so look for it. Get two helpers, have them hold rags over the pin lock holes on top (lots of stuff will come out, I had leaves, gunk ect., this will protect the awing topper). Blow air from the bottom. Good luck...

Hi Tom,

In my '02 they drain  at the bottom of the slide almost directly  below the locking pins. The may be blocks with dirt etc, so blow air up the holes in the bottom of the slide. Another consideration is leakage around the drain holes on top the slide where silicone has broken away from the entry holes.

Is the drain hole at the outboard end of the slide track that is located at the center of the slide?  Mine is rather rusted there, possibly from the drainage.

I checked mine out and that's the only hole I see that could be the drain hole.
