Just purchase a 2020 189 Very excited. 
First of many questions: I don’t seem to have papers for the care and upkeep of the slider. Are there any specifics I need to know? Thanks ------------- Debbie and Tom 2020 189 2012 Chev Silverado |

Hello and welcome Debbie! I hope you have many fun adventures and make many great memories with your R-Pod 189. We have the 179 and have really enjoyed it. As for the slide-out, the Internet is your friend. Two things to take care of are to treat the rubber with a product like Protect-All Rubber Seal Conditioner and to lube the track with a good quality spray lubricant. Do that, and you will be fine.

| The rust, the dust particles, the dirt, and the snow are but some of the elements that accumulate on some components of the slide-out. When such elements mix and are untouched for a long time, a build-up of some sort occurs that causes slide-outs to get stuck. The Slide-Out Lubricant for Slide-Out from SMART STRAW is the right choice and can help you keep your rig’s retracting system in top shape. It reduces the friction that occurs when a build-up of dirt or corrosion occurs in the window. It is also able to take on such debris and make it easier for you to clean it out of the problematic areas. |

| A travel trailer with a slide-out will make you feel at home without staying in cramped corners. An https://www.rvweb.net/how-wide-is-an-rv-with-slide-outs/ - RV extension with a slide-out will surely bring you certain benefits. The normal width of a camper van is 8 feet wide, including the slide-out in place; each slide contributes roughly 1 1/2 inches of the area when open, which adds up to 3 feet in total of extra space that enables seats to be converted into beds for sleeping. |
