    Main Slide showing light through...

    Hi guys,
    Is this normal? see pictures. I have a 2018 28BH Reflection 5th wheel. The main slide when slid in, I can see daylight coming in. The bottom left corner as you face the slide is where you can see the day light. I'm not sure if that's normal or not. As you look at the pictures it's where the slide and the floor and outside wall meet.

    The most important question....do you get any water in there when it's raining and you're set up? Do you get any water in there when it's raining and going down the road? Keep an eye on it in those two situations. Have you looked at this area on the outside and checked your bulb seals to make sure that they're not torn, smashed or compromised in any other way?

    I believe this is not uncommon and there have been other threads on this issue. You may want to use the search feature and type in slide gaps.

    That's not normal. Looks like you are still under warranty. How about taking it back to the dealer and have them to fix it.

    I had the same thing on my 303 and when I took it to the dealer for some other things they fixed this also. Not really sure how it was fixed as I was more interested in finding out about my brakes but now no lights shows in this area.

    Another concern I would have is mice. Those little critters will find any way possible to get in. I have spent several days trying to mouse proof my new 303. We live in farm country and fought the battle in our previous fifth wheel. Did the dealer fix it for you?

    I have not been able to bring it in yet to get looked at. It is currently stuck in a snow bank. I also want to use it a few times, just in case I find more things that I missed on the PDI.
