Description
Before I extend or retract the slide-out on our Winnebago Vista, I do one simple thing. I crack a window, open a roof vent, or leave the entry door open. It only takes a few seconds, and in this video I’ll show you why I’ve made it part of my RV setup and departure routine.
Think about how much space a slide-out takes up. When it moves in or out, it changes the amount of space inside the RV. Giving the air a way to move in or out helps equalize the pressure as the slide moves. I’ll walk you through what’s happening and show you how easy it is to work this step into your routine, whether you’re setting up at a campground or packing up for the next stop.
Stick around to the end for a few quick RV slide-out maintenance tips. I’ll show you the three-in-one spray I use on our rig and talk about caring for the slide tracks and rubber seals. Check your owner’s manual for the products and maintenance steps recommended for your particular slide system.
Do you already open a window or vent before moving your RV slides? Let me know in the comments. I’d love to hear what’s part of your setup routine.
