Question about seals

[rudy558]

Hi all,

Background

• This is our first year owning/staying long-term in an RV.
• We live in the Pacific Northwest and therefore seals are super important.
• We've had temperatures in the high 80s lately

Main Questions:

• How do I tell if a seal needs to be redone? Or do you just redo them all at specific time milestones?
• Do you just redo the seals on the roof, or also the ones on the sides of the RV? Are they any different re: how to tell when to work on them?
• ​
  I've noticed that some of these don't have sealing on the bottoms of items, is that a concern when washing the RV?
• Please feel free to look at the attached pictures to let me know if you see something that needs to be fixed, or you need more info/better pictures
• How to check the A/C seals? They're kind of buried under the A/C and difficult to see

Notes:

• We had a weak seal on the bedroom slide out that was found by our inspector when we purchased it. We had the dealer fix it, but we are still a bit worried about it
• We bought our RV new in 11/2023
• We just climbed on top of the RV and took a bunch of pictures of the seals which I'll add to this post. I took a lot of pictures, so I'll only include ones that look suspicious to me.

Bonus Questions:

• Any advice for cleaning the roof of the RV/tops of the slide outs? (including brands/materials)
• Any suggestions for slide out covers that work well with windy situations?

Thank you all for your time and advice!

The only thing that caught my eye was on the slide out something poking up on the left near the corner. Does it feel like a screw or just some unidentified object. Might be worth a tiny slit to check tighten if it's a screw then reseal with a small piece of etrnabond
