Slide out seals under toppers
I'm a firm believer of keeping the slide out seals lubricated throughout the year. My new dilemma is, now I have a unit that has slide out toppers on the 3 slide outs. How do other owners with the slide out toppers keep those top seals lubricated?

I use a painters pole with a micro fiber towel wrapped & taped to it. Spray the lubricant on the towel, slide it across!

You can also bring the slides in six inches or so and access the wiper seals from the inside using a small step ladder.

I like the idea of the painters pole. Is there one set of wiper seals or two? A set on inside and a second set on the outside or is it the same seal?

Rob, on the 337RLS, what is the "Pass thru" cable connection for inside the drivers side cubby?

They should be labeled "Cable," "Sat" or "Satellite" - a set for the living room and a set for the bedroom... maybe. The labels should be self-explanatory and there's a section in the manual about it. If you bought your rig used and don't have the manual, you can download a PDF copy from the GD web site.
