   They are talking about seals, not seams. The rubber seals around the slide-out (if your R-Pod has one), windows, and the door are what should be inspected. Rubber seal conditioner is good for those seals you can reach.

	I'll add positive to this thread. I picked up an early 2016 R-179 back in March and have taken it out 3 times since. My first and second trips I experienced both a deluge (Astoria OR) or snow (Spokane WA -- beautiful sunny 70º trip up, over an inch of unexpected snow overnight--learned in a hurry I need to have a ladder and something to remove snow from the slide). Had to drive in the rain on the first trip home (I live in Portland OR). I haven't seen leak in either case. Now because this was an early 2016 model (mid to late 2015 production), it did sit on the lot for a few months so I do have some rust to attend to , but that's about it. I've got a warranty appointment on Tuesday to take care of a few little things I've discovered but after lurking on this forum for a couple weeks, I see my issues are minor (and I've been taking lots of notes on what to check on for my list when I take it in!) I'd be interested in knowing what is the recommended rubber seal condition to use on the seals.

	Really appreciate this thread. I'm picking up my 180 next week. Will take all the necessary equipment to caulk window etc. Thanks for the input since the 180 will be stored outside. Maybe I should buy the cover!
