Slide retraction in the rain question?

I myself would play it safe and call into work and explain your issue and maybe ask for a leave of absence till it stopped raining? Ha ha

I bought my first camper with a slide! My first "dumb" question, what does a "slide topper" look like? Thanks

It's basically an awning for the slideout.

I've had minimal water come in (6 slides), and I don't worry about it.

Farmer with tractor and a bottle of his favorite whiskey. Problem usually solved.
