Slideout Safety Cover
Many RV slideouts have sharp edges that can cause serious injuries to adults and children who bump into them. The folks at RV Products Today developed a polyethylene-foam cover that slips over slideout corners to cushion the impact. Each cover measures 7 inches by 7 inches but can be trimmed to any size. Eight colors are available at a price of $12 per pair.
