NOTE
Refer to the Prevost parts manual for
descriptions of the sealant and adhesives
used.
The slide-out sealing device is used to prevent
any type of infiltration that may occur between
the structure body and the slide-out itself. It is
composed of an inflatable seal which is used as
a primary sealing device for both retracted and
extended slide-out position and a wiper seal as a
secondary sealing device which is used to wipe
water out and to ensure sealing during slide-out
movement.

FIGURE 30 : SEAL ASSEMBLY
The seal deflation is done each time the slide-
out moves. The deflating valve solenoid is
activated before and during the slide-out
movement. When the slide-out reaches its
retracted or extended position, the deflating
solenoid is deactivated before activation of the
inflating solenoid to re-inflate the seal.
