thomsalter Posts 3	We're new to RVing and plan to leave NE Michigan for points south just after the first of the new year. We will be traveling in a Class A coach with three slide outs. We have access to all but the rear wardrobe closet with the slide outs in, but things are a bit cramped. Considering winter weather and its effect on slide out seals and the fabric of the awnings that roll out over the slide outs, under what conditions should the slideouts not be extended? Will the heat inside the coach keep the seals pliable? What about retracting slideouts in cold weather? We would appreciate anyone's advise. edited by thomsalter on 12/21/2010 -- Thom & Jodie Salter

This will melt and dump water off the slides when driving. Have not heard of problems with the seals in cold weather. The vinyl slide toppers will be more brittle in cold weather causing them to possibly crack. This does depend on how cold the temps are dropping and the condition of the vinyl.
