Digest Number 2142 January 06, 2015, 08:39:55 pm Yahoo Message Number: 13920Ron, Thanks for the links - PPL seems to have quite a bit more "stuff" thanCamping World! Did some cogitatin' on how to "re-engineer" this wiper/sealconfiguration - original (at least on my coach) was totally unsatisfactory -light-gauge aluminum flashing appeared to be hand-cut to sorta'-kinda' fitthe openings - four separate pieces (not a straight cut anywhere), and thefelt wiper wasn't even screwed down under the flashing - was "glued-on" overit. I found a source for 1" x 3/16" x 8' roll of felt; will get a couple -now I'll try to find a satisfactory aluminum extrusion in which to insertthe felt and screw it all down to the steel - with a stand-off sufficient toprevent it from being pinched between the bottom of the slide and the steelangle. Tried to find a rubber blade or bulb gasket (automotive) thatwouldn't get pinched, but I kept going back to the felt as probably the bestsolution. Hunting for extrusion will give the front of my thighs time torecover from the "duck-walk" I was doing for a couple-three hours under theslideout...I'm getting too old for this kind of stuff...but I'm cheap labor.BTW - the Equalizer guys are great! Last year I replaced the hydrauliccylinder on the L-R slide - (rod rusted, and O-ring damaged - drifted out),and put "anti-creep" valves on both cylinders; friendly Equalizer tech'sprovided telcon support - absent written instructions for valves.:-)JTMessage1a. Re: L-R SlideoutPosted by: ronjhallsrDate: Mon Jan 5, 2015 4:04 am ((PST))I look in my PPL catalog. They have some items. But not for bottom of slide.Slide mechanism was made by Equalizer Systems.

Re: Digest Number 2142 Reply #1 – January 07, 2015, 09:52:13 am Yahoo Message Number: 13921PPL is a good place to go, luckily I am able to drive over to get what I need.Here is how I compare PPL and Campingworld. If you just bought a camper and you need to outfit it with all of the needed items and accessories go to Camping World. If your camper is broke and you need parts go to PPL. If you need additional help call the PPL parts number and ask for Earl. Quote Selected
