Slide Sentinel Mouse Guard – Electric

(137 customer reviews)

$19.99

Protect Your Rig from Unwanted Guests

Every electric rack-and-pinion-style slide-out on an RV leaves a wide opening underneath—basically an open invitation for mice to crawl right in. Once inside, they can easily make their way into your RV through plumbing gaps and hidden access points.

The Slide Sentinel is your first line of defense. Designed specifically to block that open area without interfering with the slide-out’s movement, it keeps rodents out and peace of mind in.

Size: This fits a 2″ pushrod diameter for Electric Slides.  Get the Hydraulic Version Here

Only 1 needed per slide-out. In most cases, each slide-out only has one pushrod, so you only need ONE mouse guard per slide-out.

Now made of spring steel.

Description

Why You Need the Slide Sentinel

  • Rodent Defense – Stops mice from sneaking into the underbelly of your RV through slide-out openings.
  • Smart Design – Works with your slide-out’s push rod without compromising movement or function.
  • Vacation Saver – Prevents damage, odors, and surprise guests during your next trip.

Effortless Installation

Forget complex tools or tricky adjustments. The Slide Sentinel’s patent-pending design makes it a breeze to install:

  1. Open the Slide Sentinel.
  2. Place it around the slide-out push rod.
  3. Slide it toward the RV frame until the Strong built-in magnets snap it into place.

The guard stays secure while still allowing side-to-side movement with your slide-out—no extra adjustments needed.

Keep Pests Out. Keep Adventure In.

Don’t let a mouse ruin your trip. Let the Slide Sentinel protect your RV—and your vacation.

    I ordered one, but NO communication from the company. I have no idea when or if it’ll ship or if my order was received.

    • Oxbow Team (store manager)

      Hey Matt,

      Sorry about that, our email system was down at the time you purchased. We did receive your order though and everything is processing as normal. However, as you requested, we cancelled your order and issued a full refund.

    The best product out there by far!

  4. Daryl Brown (verified owner)

    Not made for all RV’s

    • Oxbow Team (store manager)

      Correct, they are only made for 2″ diameter push rod

  5. John (verified owner)

    Broke first time retracting slide. I called the next day and was informed some customers had the problem. They assured me a redesign is in progress and I will get the replacement when that design is complete. Today is 22May 25 and if I don’t receive the new design in 14 days I’ll request a refund.

    • Oxbow Team (store manager)

      Hey John, sorry it took us a bit to redesign them. All of our customers received new versions made of steel.

  6. Greg H. (verified owner)

    Very easy to install. Closes the hole up perfectly to keep the rodents out. Highly recommended to anyone who has an RV with slides

  7. Dwayne R (verified owner)

    It broke in two as I was placing it on the Rv

    • Oxbow Team (store manager)

      Hey Dwayne, we had some issues with the plastic versions. All of our customers have now received the steel version.

    A+

  9. Christopher Moore (verified owner)

    I had a squirrel get into our RV through the opening on the ram. I tried to tape it up with duct tape. The squirrel ate it’s way through. These are very easy to install and will be very hard to chew through.

  10. Kevin (verified owner)

    Great concept but they break as soon as you bring the slideout in. If you have a rubberized/flexible version I would be interested

    • Oxbow Team (store manager)

      Hey Kevin, they are now made out of steel. You should have received the new version by now.

  11. Scott Ridout (verified owner)

    Both of Mine snapped when I put my
    Slide in. My slides had a bell shaped device that’s suppose to
    Cover the holes When closed. I never realized it was there, never had a reason to check it before I found the broken pieces. It’s a nice design but apparently does not work with my particular slides.

    • Oxbow Team (store manager)

      Hey Scott, yes, we had problems with the original plastic versions. All the new ones are now made of steel. Additionally, you should have received a new steel version that we sent out to all of our existing customers.

  12. Steve Grimes (verified owner)

    Works great easy to install

  13. Thomas Della Penna (verified owner)

    These did not fit my camper. My cylinder is too close for them to fit over the hole on braces.

    • Oxbow Team (store manager)

      Hey Thomas, they should fit all 2″ pushrods. The hydraulic rods that are smaller won’t work with them. However, we are working on new models for the hydraulic slides. Feel free to reach out for help getting a return started.

  14. Richard (verified owner)

    They are to big for my redwood 5 th wheel slides don’t fit my cylinders

    • Oxbow Team (store manager)

      Hey Richard, these are for the 2″ push rods. Smaller ones are coming soon.

  15. David J. (verified owner)

    Thank you for developing this product. I no longer need to crawl under the slide and place steel wool to plug the opening where mice use this entrance as a runway. So simple to install and extremely effective

  16. Michael (verified owner)

    Perfect.. strong magnets keep critters out

  17. Robert H. (verified owner)

    It doesn’t fit either slide on my Brinkley Z 3610. The hydraulic shaft is too close to the other support rail.

    • Oxbow Team (store manager)

      Hey Robert, they should fit all 2″ pushrods. The hydraulic rods that are smaller won’t work with them. However, we are working on new models for the hydraulic slides. Feel free to reach out for help getting a return started.

  18. Peter F. (verified owner)

    Wow. This is the real deal. So much easier than always packing in steel wool. Perfect fit. Thank you for simplifying my rv setup

  19. Lane Delker (verified owner)

    This does not work on my RV. The gear pack drive mechanism is too close to the actuator opening. This product won\’t fit on my RV without modification. But, in the process of trying to attach this guard, the magnets starting popping out of their mounting spots. I love the concept. Unfortunately, I believe there needs to be some additional research and adjustments before it works for me. Now I am stuck with a product I can’t use. (2022 Keystone Montana 3231CK)

    • Oxbow Team (store manager)

      Hey Lane, sorry it didn’t work for you. Feel free to reach out to get a return started. It’s the hydraulic slides that these don’t work on. However, we are working on a solution for those as well.

  20. Tim Hall (verified owner)

    Oxbow RV stands behind their product and I received outstanding support and communication. I received the latest revision guards today and they are now a perfect solution.

  21. Bear

    Just great that they stand behind their products. Got my new, steel, mouse guard in the mail today!

  22. John Compani (verified owner)

    Redesigned metal version is great! I appreciate that this company stands behind its product

  23. Jay Keopf

    I originally ordered these when they came out earlier this year. Great concept, but first generation had some issues, as the company has acknowledged. Just received the redesigned product today and I am very impressed, not just with the stainless steel redesign, but with how the company has stood behind it and taken care of its customers. Timing of the new product is perfect. I am winterizing now and about to put it up for the winter. I’ll be sharing and recommending to others. Thank you!

  24. Alan Kidwell (verified owner)

    Great design great materials
    Great fit and easy to install
    Very pleased 👍

  25. Phil Dekok (verified owner)

    It hasn’t arrived yet. USPS is trying to find out where it is in their system. It isn’t your fault that they can’t find it. I have contacted USPS and they are escalating their search for it I hope. The rating doesn’t mean anything yet because USPS hasn’t delivered it yet.

  26. Al Murphy (verified owner)

    Love them

  27. Michael L. (verified owner)

    I ordered two more

  28. Richard (verified owner)

    Great product works as advertised

  29. Fred (verified owner)

    Easy to install and covers the gap exactly as advertised. Also, I had provided an incomplete shipping address and they took care of it and immediately shipped another one – great customer service.

  30. Doug Wright (verified owner)

    Very easy to install and covers the opening well.

  31. John Taylor (verified owner)

    I have only had this product a couple weeks. It was pretty easy to install. I understand the original was made out of some kind of plastic, but this is spring steel, and the magnets seem strong. I see this as very beneficial in covering the large hole in the frame.

  32. Linda W. (verified owner)

    FITS PERFECTLY! It LARGELY reduces the space around the rack-and-pinion! I am a lady lol… I put it on in about 2 minutes. My brother sent me your website product so I thought I would give it a try. I received it about 3 weeks ago and just put it on today. THANKS!

  33. Robert Shaffer (verified owner)

    I ordered two and only received one. Please expedite the other one to complete my order!!

  34. Jim C. (verified owner)

    I tried the mouse guard on my Forest River Cardinal and my Forest River Riverstone. It was too wide on one side to fit correctly. If the footprint was more narrow and the hole a smaller diameter, I think it would function properly. Do you make different sizes?

  35. Ronald Garner (verified owner)

    This thing is so simple but yet so awesome!!!! It eliminates an entry point!

  36. Randy Shumaker (verified owner)

    My order never reached me. I have tried to contact you several times with no response. I would not buy from you again

  37. Michael Lepera (verified owner)

    I believe making it out of metal was a plus. It’s easy to install and I think it’s the best thing since sliced bread.

  38. Edwin M. (verified owner)

    Did not fit due to interference with the RV slide rack so I had to cut one side. Requested help to determine whether the magnet side should be against the frame or the other side but received no response. Also tried calling and got no answer.

  39. Rodney (verified owner)

    Hole too big, returned.

  40. Henry Rust (verified owner)

    Well the magnets are not what’s advertised and it has rivets in the middle of the pea sized one that makes it look really weak. It should fit some RVs but not a BRINKLEY Model G3950 or Z models either so it is a good concept and im sure with some more tweaking it will more than likely work. I sent mine back for a refund not used. When they have the bugs worked out I will probably purchase it again. Henry Rust G3950.

  41. Cyndi C. (verified owner)

    Easy to install & came on quickly

  42. Dennis W. (verified owner)

    Good fit and finish l9ve them.

  43. Bradley Miller (verified owner)

    Hole in center is very large compared to my hydronic ram

  44. Steve W. (verified owner)

    Installed today EZ enough.

  45. Carl L. (verified owner)

    Looks like it’s a great fit pleased with the product and ease of install

  46. Mike M. (verified owner)

    The only reason for a 4 star and not a 5 star is because I have not retracted the slide yet. I’m sure it will be fine. High quality product.

  47. Matthew (verified owner)

    Not impressed for the price. The magnets are TINY. The stainless steel is thin. Not impressed at all and, frankly, I regret purchasing.

  48. George C. (verified owner)

    It’s a great product!

  49. Rey Morris (verified owner)

    Would not work, was too close to the gear track to fit. Also scared of the sharp edges may scar the hydraulic ram causing a leak on the seal. I did trim to fit, but did not like those sharp edges. I did not use the device.

  50. Gregg C. (verified owner)

    Finally got my camper back from repairs and was able to install the mouse guard. Fits well and should prevent mice/snakes or any other critters from getting in while the slide is out.

  51. Michael A. (verified owner)

  52. Dennis (verified owner)

    Very easy to o install.

  53. David F. (verified owner)

    Went on easy, this really closes up the opening without interfering with the slide operation. I saw a similar product for the same price, but it was plastic and required you to remove it when retracting slides, then re-install after opening them. This one stays in place, and is made from spring steel.

  54. Valerie Hartle (verified owner)

    I have not received it yet !

  55. Tod M. (verified owner)

    Very well made and fit great. It stays in place.

  59. Neal Schulte (verified owner)

    Worked like a charm. Easy to install.

  60. Todd Kindig (verified owner)

    fast & easy installation. I would recommend this product to everyone.

  61. Richard H. (verified owner)

    Very nice! Easy to install and well made, it should last a long time keeping the rodents and bees from entering the slide tube.

  62. Anonymous (verified owner)

  63. Chris Branch (verified owner)

  64. Tom B. (verified owner)

    You should add a label that says, “This may prevent mice from getting in your rv but it has razor sharp edges and you may need 25 stitches to close the wounds” because that what happened to me. Fuck this.

  65. Kevin T. (verified owner)

  66. Tim Laughlin (verified owner)

    Hole too large for hydraulic rod and backplate too big, bumps into existing mounting brackets on my Brinkley Z3100

    • Clayton Krebs (store manager)

      Hey Tim, this product is only for electric slides. However, we have a hydraulic model coming soon! Get in touch with customer service to initiate a return.

  67. David H. (verified owner)

    So simple, fits perfect, above all does the job it’s meant too, fast shipping and outstanding customer service when I misspelled street address. Great company.

  68. Dean BARCLAY (verified owner)

  69. Louis Ruggiero (verified owner)

    A great idea and product.

  70. Michael Thomsen (verified owner)

    Great idea looking to see how they withstand opening and closing slides after daily use. Seems that magnetic connection is the right size magnets. Love them so far.😀😀

  71. Lesley Peterson (verified owner)

    Would be perfect if the inner circle was lined with a Teflon grammot to prevent scratching of the slide out tube

  72. Joseph C. (verified owner)

    Product seems good and the idea is great but the company and its communication leave something to be desired. I only received one slide cover when the description says only one kit needed per slide. I sent a message asking if I needed to order a second one or if mine came packaged incorrectly and haven’t heard back for over a week. If I’m wrong and I needed to buy two then I’ll change my review but for the time being I’m going to assume I was shorted one cover.

  73. Wendy (verified owner)

    Needs to be bigger

  74. Tim Smith (verified owner)

    Fits like it’s suppose to, great product

  75. Anonymous (verified owner)

    good product, your ad said 1 per slide out, my slide has 2 rods. wish your ad would have been clearer.

  76. Daniel W. (verified owner)

    Good fit and easy install.

  77. Brian Brest (verified owner)

    I have a rack and pinion system on my Jayco trailer and with this the shaft that runs the slide in and out is a 2 inch in diameter. The diameter in the protector that I bought from you guys is only an 1-7/8 in. I had to modify it to make it fit my application. It advertises that it fits a 2 inch diameter shaft and the hole is only inch and 7/8 but after modification it works great thanks

  78. Ronald Wilde (verified owner)

    No the do not fit

  79. Thomas S. (verified owner)

    Easy to put on and seem to be very durable.

  81. George I. (verified owner)

    It accomplished what it was intended for. That is a good thing!

  82. Dave L. (verified owner)

    Good hole coverage. Seems like they will keep the mice from entering via the slide mechanism. The slides have been in/out 4-5 times since install, staying in place so far.

  83. Joe M. (verified owner)

    A better fittment. I had to do a slight modification. I had to enlarge hole because my mini 2723tb had the outer tube sticking out of the frame about 3/4 in. Some good snips can do the job

    Perfect fit! Very easy to install on my 2025 Grand Design.

  94. Jon (verified owner)

    seems good. a bit harder to install do to obstacles near slideout pole that were in way had to bend to get on and tweek back to a sealed position hopefully it stays snug otherwise looks like it should work.

    Works great and easy to install.

  96. Jennifer R. (verified owner)

    So far we have not had a single mouse! We literally have tried everything on the market for 2 years and nothing has worked. This works!! It’s very simple to put in place. Thank you Oxbow RV for creating a product that puts the joy back in camping!

    I really like the design but my trailer slides do not need them. I have internal cables. Everything under slide is closed off.

  102. JoAnne (verified owner)

    Absolutely thrilled with our purchase. Was a breeze to install and comforting to know that we won’t be bothered with unwelcome critters. Thank you Oxbow RV

  103. Steve W. (verified owner)

    Used once, bound up on the frame as the slide moved out. Plainly the magnets way too weak. I received this survey before I contacted you about the issue.Installed on an 2026 IBEX 25MLB. It has a rack n pinion slide.

  104. Philip Lessard (verified owner)

    The product is very well made, however, I am unable to use it. My Sporttrek travel trailer has wires coming through the frame adjacent to where the slide sentinel would be. The slide sentinel would damage the wires. Also; the rod would hat connects the two slide tracks impedes the installation of the slide sentinel.
    Nice product, but I am unable to use it. Perhaps you could provide an application chart so buyers don’t waste their time and money.

  105. Sandy Mcclusky (verified owner)

    The problem I had was my round Bar was to close the slide out bar so I had to Grind the side down to get it to fit so not sure yet how the magnets on that side are going to do. Had to grid into them. Other then that I think it’s a great idea.

  106. Trent (verified owner)

    Get it put on. But I’ll see how it will work when I take my trailer out

  107. Darrell H. (verified owner)

    I’m not impressed. I ordered it on April 24 and it is May 11th. Tracking shows it is stuck on the east coast and I live on the west coast. After duty and exchange rate, it cost double.

  108. Michael S. (verified owner)

    Easy to install. Works as advertised.

  109. Chuck Oestreich (verified owner)

    Doesn’t work on Sporttrek Travel Trailer Campers

  115. Denise (verified owner)

    I thought it wouldn’t stay in place when I put the slide out. Boy was I wrong. The magnets are strong and held perfectly.

  116. Tom M. (verified owner)

    The magnetic mouse dam fit my 2016 Jayco White Hawk 23MRB perfectly! There is no way a little furry creature will get through that protection plate. Definitely a worthwhile investment!

    great made product. easy to install. no way rodent’s can get past it

  126. Tim (verified owner)

    Easy to install. Covers the opening nicely. However, the magnets do not keep it at the frame when pushing the slide out. It ends up at the far end and needs to be moved back to the frame each and every time.
