HWH/Rouge Slide Out.

Well I'm not sure that all slide seals actually fill with air. Country Coach seals don't. If you have a seal come loose, you will have an air leak even when the slide is in. The seal needs to be lubricated to prevent it from hanging up and breaking loose, causing a leak. I used white graphite on my CC, but you need to see what HWH recommends as a seal lub.
I could actually start and drive my coach with the slide out which I found real strange. It was handy a few times to move a few feet without bringing the slide in.

Loc uses a wide load banner while driving the DS Millennium down the Interstate with both slides out.

I thought the banner was for the Wonder Dog.

Hi Bruce. On my Coach the Seal is composed of a Blade & the Tube. Air is filled when closed as well as when open. It automatically deflates when sliding in or out. I have replaced my bedroom seal twice because of a tear or a defect. You can usually hear the leak and the air compressor constantly running is a tip off.

I do not think that I have a leak. I had this checked at the factory and had graphite appliedl.

What I am concerned about is the alignment and the latches. I think the stops are out of alignment and the latches seem to be insufficient for the job. The latches are only at the top of the unit, 2 of them. When the slide does bump out it is only at the bottom, 1 or 1.5" at times, not all the time. This would not happen if I could latch the bottom as well as the top.

That is way harsh. The WonderBeagle has been on a diet and has lost about 10 pounds. He only has about 15 to go.

Bruce,

I agree with the light comment. I would neither put the slides out properly nor bring them in fully without the green light that indicates proper operation. I would check with HWH to see if this could be added. They are incredible to work with. I called them about my leveling system and they called back about a week after we talked to see if the problem was resolved. The also provided technical manuals.

I will call them as its a nuisance not to know for sure before starting the engine.
