The First Sign: Your Slide Starts to Stick
Most owners have no idea anything is wrong with the slide floor until the room starts to stick. By then, the floor has gone soft enough to let the roller or glide plate sink into it.
A slide that sticks can have other causes too, and an RVTI Certified RV Technician needs to look at yours to say for sure. Until then, don't force it. A slide forced to move can turn a floor repair into a bigger one.
Why RV Slide Floors Fail
The seals don't keep water out
Slide seals are mainly there to hold in conditioned air, not to keep water out. Some slide boxes are put together in a way that channels water into the box.
The floor was never meant to get wet
Factory slide floors are made from interior-grade wood. It was never intended to get wet. When water reaches it, the floor softens and breaks down.
How We Build Your Slide Floor Better
We fix the cause first. A new floor won't last if water keeps getting in, so we find where it's getting in and fix that before anything else.
We replace it with exterior-grade wood. There are two types of wood: interior-grade and exterior-grade. The factory used interior-grade. Your new floor is exterior-grade.
On in-wall slides, we add extra fasteners. The factory fasteners come loose over time, and the sheer weight of the room can pull them out of the hole. The extra fasteners keep the room tight and help keep it from falling out.
Catch It While Your RV Is New
Given the chance while your RV is new, we find the issues before they turn into a full floor replacement. Call or text us to set up a time to have your slides looked at.
