Water repellent slider caps and zipper structures. Certain embodiments provide a male slider cap that receives a slider to thereby reduce the amount of water introduced around the perimeter of the slider. A pull tab on the slider may be inserted into a pocket on the male slider cap that is defined by the inner surface of the male slider cap and a snap tab. In other embodiments there is additionally provided a garage attached to the zipper tape. The garage may receive the male slider cap to reduce the amount of water around the perimeter of the slider and into the garage. Certain other embodiments provide a female slider cap to receive a second slider that may be positioned on the zipper tape. The female slider cap may receive the leading edge of the male slider cap, thus covering any open spaces between the first and second sliders.

A structural assembly such as for use in constructing a living space of a recreational vehicle includes a wall with vertical rails at the top and bottom. The rails fitting into complementary recess within floor and ceiling members. The bottom rail has a curved cross section and fits into a complementary shaped curved channel in a floor member such that to assemble the wall to the floor, the wall is rested on the floor member at an angle and is then tilted upright to lock it to the floor member. A first keeper is then placed into a gap between the wall and the floor member, and acts in compression to prevent rotation of the wall. A second keeper has portions that fit into recesses in the wall and the ceiling members, respectively. The second keeper acts in tension to prevent vertical separation of the wall and the ceiling.
