Rubber seals checking and replacement?

How long do the rubber seals last on the aframes? When they wear out do you buy from dealer or 3rd party?

Anyone replace the seal around the door?

Rubber seals regardless the type of rig deteriorate at different rates depending on the environment your rig is in. My front window seal didn't last a year on my rig now the replacement has held up fine. I store my rig inside out of the sun so that is a factor. Myself I would buy from a vendor and not the dealer unless it were a dealer only item. that way I can control the quality and cost of the item.

Most of the rubber seals on an Aframe would have to be ordered from FR, most are not generic seals like most trailers use. I had a rep tell me about a product to use on the seals that will help condition them to last longer, I bought the small bottle and apply a few times each season and still have some left after three years. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
