I forgot this one question for a week now. When I was learning about the low point drains and doing that, I also found the other thing, the black hole as I refer to it, which as I understand is for the water that goes around the slide as you push in (rain, condensation) to go into that track and down. Should I plug that for winter or is it not a real hole or ? It's hard to describe, I'm guessing anyone with a 2009 Roo23SS knows what I'm talking about?? thanks!!

And I know this one is really stupid probably, but leaving my stinky hose in the bumper carrier and the sewer hole adapters in their little basket on the bumper , the weather won't affect those right? no need to bring those in to garage,etc. for winter? or is there? they're not real expensive ones, just the usual dealer store ones

Ok, here's a third - do most of you put a separate air conditioner cover on the air conditioner before you put the whole cover on (I couldn't find the picture like of yours, Chuck^S but I know you had a picture somewhere of how you put your cover on. My weather won't be as bad as yours but should I?

I think that's it for now, sorry I keep thinking of things.

The hose is okay in the bumper. I don't put an additional cover on my ac. Don't know about question #1, I have a 23B.

Do not plug them. There's one on the other side too.

These drain the water wiped of the sides of the slide as you retract it.
