So... I went up the ladder...and looked on top of the slide out. And found the reason — a beer bottle!!! It’s been up there since I bought it, and managed to stay there despite being towed a number of miles.

So, on one hand, I’m glad that’s all it was. On the other hand, what a dope for not looking there sooner!!

That's another justification for what I do every time we pack up at a CG. I get up on the ladder and sweep the top of the slides. Almost every time, there are sticks and leaves and whatnot (no beer bottles...yet) up there that would defintely interfere with the slide operation or degrade the seals.
