Slide out bladder repair?

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..

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

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 !

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.

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 :-)
