I’ve seen online a company that I believe is in Arizona that replaces the shin tel system completely, supposed to be the cats meow but that the case how many people would drive from all over the country to do that? I would surely do it if they weren’t so far. I’ve got swhinntekon my 2021 motorhome class c and that’s the bedroom and living room. I lube the motor wheel with dry silicone and the seals I use the 3 in 1 seal lube for rv’s. Works great and for slide outs I have toppers so I use a long broom stick with a rag tied to it with the conditioner soaked into it and that gets it, also do the seals inside for the slides. Bought the same as you do. I even use it on my radiator hoses and any other rubber under the hood and doors.

[@WhyWait]

Nice. I know the company and slide out system you’re talking about. Wish it was the new standard for all RVs. Thanks for watching and commenting. 👍🏼

[@mrtwister3150]

Another great product is protect-all, it cleans and protects. 10 years in the Florida sun have never replaced a seal or decal

[@WhyWait]

Thanks for the tip 👍🏼😁

[@ThoseWhoGlampTogether]

I’ve never heard of Aerospace 303. Gonna have to look that up. I like the Boeshield. Great information!!

[@WhyWait]

Good deal. Been using 303 for a good while. Even before rv life. Great on tires too!

[@DockingPilot]

Excellent advice as always. Thank you!!

[@WhyWait]

Took me a second to figure out who this was. I put the FR and CR together and figured it out Frank 👍🏼😂

[@robertwagner8596]

new sub here,greetings from North Carolina,very helpfull show,im thinking about getiing a camper full time.this help alot,thanks for sharing your wisdom

[@WhyWait]

Thanks Rob. Appreciate you checking out the channel. Lots of helpful videos for new camper owners. 👍🏼

[@RonRivet]

Thanks for posting, I just replaced some rotten wood for a lady in her Jayco 30 foot rv. She wanted the carpet in front of her slideout removed due to mould and smell. I removed the carpet that slide out slides over, also replaced the rotten 5/8 inch plywood with new 5/8 inch plywood. Now she wants the vinyl floor replaced since it has black mould on it. Is there anything I need to know about how the slide out slides on top of floor? Since carpet that was on top of vinyl is removed, can the slideout scratch the new vinyl floor? Thanks for posting your excellent and very informative videos, I really appreciate them! 😊

[@WhyWait]

Thanks Ron. Not really sure about the flooring deal on the inside you’re talking about.

[@NormRidg]

You missed another big issue. On the slide side of your slide out inspect for cracks in the underbelly edge or slide ski and the rail. I didn't inspect until it was too late. Add skis to my rig to help prevent future wear/tear on the edge of the underbelly material. This tip can save thousands of dollars in future repairs.

[@rcaldridge9230]

What is the river seal on top of the slide out called and you does one replace that? (Is under a canopy that is attached to the slide out) thanks in advance!

[@colincutler194]

Great video. Subbed

[@WhyWait]

Appreciate that and thanks for watching Colin 👍🏼

[@DonnyPerritt]

I was blessed with a 97 snowbird. Has soft floor .slide seals gone and wood .can I rebuild my self. I have built ,,well I have life time experience. Residential and commercial

[@WhyWait]

I guess you can give it a shot. Sounds like you have the experience 👍🏼

[@laurenhouston9542]

I noticed that the Schwinteck slide subfloor shown in the video has gotten wet at some point. Have you addressed that at all? I have a solitude an am experiencing the same thing.

[@docterry0]

I didn't see the Aerospace 303 on your Amazon list

[@WhyWait]

It’s right there in the video description, I just checked. It’s the third link down. Here it is incase you can’t find it though. amzn.to/3u7tnCJ

[@kenseinen2083]

It's important to sell product is all you will learn from this guy.

[@WhyWait]

I hope you bought something!!!

[@JJTRADES-x7u]

How about the floor corners of the slide I see a lot of water damage on the floor. Would eternabond help or some sort of sealant. I see people putting up slideout ski to prevent water from coming in to the corners

[@hjkkmtukk3990]

Hi, thank you for the advice. How often I need to do the rubber treatment (full time in the rv)?

[@WhyWait]

I try to do the Aerospace 303 UV Protectant about every two weeks. 👍🏼

[@anneburke8709]

Once a month

[@brendasolis9002]

What kind of covering is on the slide out floor on your rig? Ours is black darco. Hate it.

[@WhyWait]

Not sure to be honest. It’s almost like a hard cardboard/formica wood. It shows water stains which I don’t like.

[@brendasolis9002]

​. Thanks. We have the darco and it wears and then tears. We need to fix ours. Ugh. The ones used under the Shwintek slides is nice.

[@porschezoeymomsmith1335]

Can it be painted with a rubber coating? ​@@WhyWait

[@WhyWait]

@@porschezoeymomsmith1335 probably. I’m going to paint mine I think.

[@jpope919]

What if it doesn't slide in??

[@WhyWait]

Could be lots of things. You’ll have to research and find other videos that will help with that. Too much to type here. 👍🏼

[@joemcbride3564]

...best advice regarding a slide-out...DONT get one!...

[@WhyWait]

That’s one way to handle it! With that kinda outlook and not wanting hassles or maintenance I’d just say best advice…don’t get an RV in general 😂
