Slide seal replace in CA

Just back to the coach after few months of traveling abroad and find I have a leaky seal on the rear slide . Coach is stored in palm desert so Looking for a shop in CA that you guys could recommend.
Thanks again

Jimmy, I used Temecula Valley RV to have the bedroom seal replaced. Was very happy with the work. There are a few other members here that have used them  for other work also.

That looks to be the best option, having had a chance to look around the coach I think the air compressor for the seal may have burned out !!
Going to look back through some old threads as I think I remember someone finding a good source for new or rebuilt units

Jimmy, was $2175. Or there abouts. Made arrangements to bring the coach in the day they would work on it. Picked it up the next day. 8 hrs labor + parts. Two ways to get work done there. Make an appointment date to drop it off and pick it up whenever it's done or, make an appointment date for when they will start working on your coach and pick it up when they are done. I didn't want to just leave it there so I did the latter.

Temecula Valley RV replaced my living room slide last year.  It is the place to go for this kind of work in SoCal.

Good call Jimmy, make sure they understand you want to be there a day or two before they start on the coach. They have 30 amp power.

Noticed the auxiliary pump is not firing up , checked the small fuse located next to pump and it's intact, is there a breaker behind this fuse ? If so where do I start looking, concerned it may have burned out trying to maintain pressure on leaking seal

Should be a main  resetable breaker  behind white panel [maybe 30 or 40 amp?] This feeds the relay that supplies power to the compressor motor, small fuse is for control circuit that tells relay to close. If compressor runs too much, pull that small fuse.

Jimmy, you can also locate the air valve on the manifold for your bedroom slide. You can then open it to put slid out, then close it. When you want to put it in, open the valve, bring it in, then shut valve off again. That way, you won't be trying to keep the bladder full of air. I did this for a month before I got the bladder changed.if your concerned about dirt or rain getting in you can tape the gap closed with painters tape. Get the type that won't leave any residue on the paint.
