Yes, for the seals I sprayed it on the rag and then wiped it on.

I imagine you could try a stick with a rag or the edge of a sponge mop from the dollar store.

Thanks!!

I spray mine on a rag and wipe on the exposed and non exposed side of the outside seals. To get the too one i get on the roof with the slide extended and lay down to get to the seal. Works well for us but we have a full walk on roof. Check to see if yours is walk on before trying to get up there and be safe while up there.

I can walk on my roof but I have slide toppers so I can't reach the seals from the top. I'm going to try a painting pole I think!

I've heard of that...

I've also treated mine with 303 Aerospace Protectant (with a rag).  As for the top of the slide...best I can recommend (if you cannot stand on them) is to belly crawl and lean over.

Do you spray the 303 on the rag? I guess I can try and put the tag on a stick?

We have a 5th wheel with 2 big slides. I was wondering if anyone had any tips and tricks on how to treat/condition their rubber seals. The problem I have trouble with is reaching on the top under my slide awning.

I'm an electrician for the University of Illinois. I'd say aslong as your plugged into a 30 amp service and you know what you can run to stay under 30 amps you should be fine! If it were me I'd do it. Those things are expensive! If you do over amp the only thing that could happen is you could trip/fry your surge protector and trip the breaker! 

We have a tripod and use the X chock in between our wheels for our 5er! When everything is set up and on level ground we have almost no movement! I like our tripod a lot. I'm glad I got it last year!

Would you recommend stopping over night before or after Atlanta?

How far is Atlanta from your starting point?

Just south of Atlanta is the Forsyth KOA. Easy pullthroughs and nice folks.

Just inside Georgia on I-75 is the Holiday Travel Park of Chattanooga. Nice level pullthroughs. Easy in and out.

Atlanta is 9.5 hours from our home. From what I read on here you need to hit Atlanta at the right times. Is there a lot of interstate  exchanges? Why is driving through Atlanta so bad?

My wife and I are starting to plan a trip to Fort Wilderness some time next year with our 1 year old daughter. I'm already starting to plan the route down. I was wondering if anyone can give me some info. On the drive down we are pulling our 35' fifthwheel and we want to stay at a full hookup campground. How far can we make it driving the first day? Do we try and make it past Atlanta? What everyone's itinerary on the way down?
