Slides

I am new to slides so i have a question about them. On my 2608WS the front slide with the dinner and sofa. On the front of slide being the tongue of trailer I can see daylight at the bottom of slide when the slide is all the way in. Is this normal ?

I don't believe so. At least I can't see any light under mine when opened or closed. It may be that a seal just needs to be adjusted....of course, it might be normal and I just haven't seen it ( I'm fairly new to slide outs myself ). Are you referring to the entire underside of the slide or just the font corner?

If you can cause water to enter with a garden hose nozzle, rain will enter when under tow, ie: not acceptable.

Yep. Just on the front corner would indicate something isn't aligned properly. It may be something as simple as a misadjusted or improperly installed seal, or it could be the slide itself is out of alignment. Definitely have it checked out. Water is bad.
