Whatever method you use, make sure you do not exceed 50 PSI on your water system!

Slide seals should be inspected every month or so as well as lubricated with a good slide seal lube. Don’t lubricate your seals by spraying stuff all over. I fold up a paper towel to a 2x2 inch square. Then spray the lubricant on that and wipe the seal, inside and out of the seal.

Things do go wrong so: LEARN and Get Roadside Assistance!! Things will go wrong. Just accept that they will and realize you can get through it. But don’t go it alone.

Schwintek mechanisms however are best used on small slides that neither weigh a lot nor go out a long distance.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System is absolutely necessary.

I’ve used those expanding hoses for years (make sure they say for potable water).

My current system is RVI and I can monitor my Toad Brake, TPMS sensors, and vehicle Level all from the same tablet.

There are a couple of equations that are useful to understand. The first is Current (amps) is equal to Voltage (volts) divided by Resistance (ohms). Or I=V/R. So, for this circuit, if the battery is 12V and the bulb resistance (hot) is 24 ohms, the current would be 0.5 amp. I said hot for the bulb because in an incandescent bulb the resistance incr

Slide components (Schwintek gear, rack and pinion etc) should be lubricated with a good silicone spray.
