Yes, just a garden hose with a nozzle.

Thanks

I would stick with hose on Jet or full not a high pressure hose, water could go where you don't want it and mislead.]]> Mon, 25 Jun 2018 14:52:58 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11782&PID=111335#111335 Water leaking in slide when hauling : As far as I can tell the gasket... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11782&PID=111332#111332 Author: devro

As far as I can tell the gasket is in very good shape.  

I guess I'm going to take a high pressure water hose to it and see if I can force water through it.
I don't know what else to do, everything looks good, but obviously something is not.

Thanks

is the rubber gasket around the slide in good condition?  and is it flipped in or out?  not sure if that even makes a difference but I believe it should be flipped outward, I could be mistaken.]]> Mon, 25 Jun 2018 08:56:32 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11782&PID=111308#111308 Water leaking in slide when hauling : My 2014 178 developed a new problem:When... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11782&PID=111307#111307 Author: devro

My 2014 178 developed a new problem:
When I am towing, and it's raining I am getting water inside the trailer.
The water is running to the inside of the slide on a slide runner?  It  is dripping off the forward corner of the trim that is just below the right side of the refrigerator and above the netted storage under the fridge.  
It leaks quite a lot: just an hour or so of hauling in a medium rain will put about 3/4 inch of water in a 3 quart pan.

I can not figure out how the water is getting in.  When the slide is closed the seals look to be sealed.  I have always kept the seal rubber conditioned with 303.  

I do notice the bottom of the slide seems to pull up tighter to the outside wall than the top of the slide.

Any ideas?

Thanks, JIM
