Water leak in slide - 2023 solitude 380fl

[Hodagjoe]

We have a water leak in the bedroom slide. It is in the front of the slide on the botyom.

I had the same issue on 2 of the 5 slides, my dealer built up layers of silicone on top of the metal rail near the inside of the slide and this defeated the water.

Thank you for that information. Did they fill it in behind the wiper seals on the bottom rails?

Does it leak when the slide is open or close?

All three of my shwintech slides leak when out at bottom. The two rear have severe leaks. From what I've been able to hear from a mobile tech and others it's a known problem by GD. I'm giving my dealer one chance to fix it.

When it is open. When I put tape on the rail outside it seems to stop the leak.

The water coming down the slide will go to the path of least resistance. That might be inside. The water might follow the track and go in. Putting some silicone at an angle to help it drip off before going inside helps a lot.
Some people have taken the tracks off and put a dam of silicone at the end of the track too. taking out the track screws and putting some silicone helps too.

Our 2018 374TH-R Solitude favorite leak zone is passenger side living room slide on the front. The rain gutter put down a lot of water and sometimes the wind tries to push the water in next to the track. The silicone 45 * lines angling away from the rv help. Just 2 or 3 inches from where the water might go inside.

Thank you all for the info. We just bought a 2024 303RLS, too, it out and it rained on us. The bedroom slide out leaked, in side, in the front just as you guys described. Now I know hoe to fix it, thanks again
