Slides Leak Too

[Gerald Farris]

Joel,
The sloped top slides were on SMC era coaches (1997 through 2002). When Monaco started designing the slides with the 2003 model, all of the slides had flat tops with slide toppers. In fact Monaco even started offering slide toppers as an option on some of the 2002 models with sloped slides after the SMC purchase. Monaco loved slide toppers.

I can't say I share Monaco's affection for them.  Thanks for the response Gerald.

Hi guys: just an anecdote. I had an '01 Patriot as my first coach. It had the slanted roof on the slide. Loved it. No rain to gather and leak in, etc.  It's unfortunate that Monaco decided to save a few buck by not having to engineer the slanted roof (it's easier to build a square box). Some things were better left alone. Like this and the door latch someone earlier was referring to. Progress ?
