Slide Maintenance

Well, if you're going to shelter in place in your motorized home, there are far worse places than your cousin's RV dealership. Showalter RV had just completed water and electric hookups in their customer parking area. So, while we were hunkering down, we were able to get some work done on the coach.

Harold took on the task of replacing the slideout seals and weatherstripping. He had ordered the parts months ago and was just waiting for the time to get them done. He spent a couple of days working through each slide. He lost count of how many times he went up and down that ladder.

The thirteen-year-old seams in the slide toppers had worn out. So, the guys pulled the toppers off and took them down the road to Amish-owned Millers Custom Canvas Shop LLC in Milford, Indiana. They confirmed that the Sunbrella fabric was still good and simply restitched the seams. The price was incredibly reasonable, far more so than buying entirely new toppers. Back at the lot, the guys reinstalled the toppers for us. Yeah, Harold didn't have to go up and down the ladder again.

We are so glad that we have family with RV expertise. If you're looking for an RV, we encourage you to give Showalter RV a call. You'll get a great price and excellent service.  🙂
