Slide cover collects rain water

[steve65]

The dinette slide on my 2017 Reflection 337RLS has a factory installed awning which required the slide cover to be installed higher which resulted in very little slope and the cover collects large amounts of rain water. One idea I have is to install an awning rail 2 inches above the factory rail. Any suggestions or thoughts.

I have the same problem on a 2020 337rls. What a surprise the fist time we closed the slide after a rain when about five gallons of water ran onto the step and down the side of the slide. Adding a mounting rail above factory rail might solve the problem.

I think that would solve your problem and give you some slope to drain the water from the slide topper.

I took pvc pipe, and made 8 legs, 2 longs pieces of pipe. I put it together once at the campground, slide it under the awning topper, about 6 inches from the trailer. Works well. Very little water collects. I think I might have 20 bucks into this.

We have the same issue. My solution is to go up on the roof with a broom after a heavy or extended rain.

I put one of those cheap pool rafts under my topper , it's been there for six months with no problem . Just remembered to take it out when you bring the slide in.
