Slide out ripped flooring - 2018 337RLS
Has anyone else had their slideout rip their flooring? Found this rip next to the island, and noticed that it appears to have come from the slideout. Looking underneith there appears to be pieces of wood attached to the bottom of the slide out, the one near the pantry hits the flooring and pulls/pushes on it when the slideout is moving.
Not sure how to fix this. Would like to fix the floor, but if the slideout is going to continue to push/pull on it, my guess is that it's just going to rip again.

Something caused the wood to come loose, can you see if the rollers are still in place underneath the slide? our 303 has 3 rollers across the kitchen slide.
Once you figure out why it happened you can have it patched with a piece of flooring taken from under the hutch. GD doesn't use that floor any more.Marcy & Gary

Our 295Rl 5er did the same thing. Fortunately for us, it happened under warranty and was fixed by GD. On ours the corner edge of the 20' kitchen slide (by the fridge) did the damage to our linoleum floor. After consulting with a GD tech, found that several models including ours were having issue with the larger slides for that year. He said the fix was to place rollers under the slide on the floor to help guide the slide during retraction. We now have 5 rollers under our slide and have had no issue since.

The part listed in the url below is what I believe the dealer installed on the floor under my kitchen slide. Since it was done via warranty, i did not receive a break down on the invoice from the dealer after completion. I am sure they also performed some kind of height adjustment to the slide mechanism as well. The linoleum damage was contracted out by the dealer to a repair shop who made it look seamless.

Same thing happened to my buddies 2018 337RLS in front of the stove/pantry cabinet. His entire flooring was replaced by the dealership and covered by GD.... TWICE!
The first time they replaced the flooring only, which involves removal of both slides, the island, hutch, sofa, and both end cabinets. When it ripped again on his very next trip GD upgraded the rollers and increased the number of them from 3 to 5. My 2019 has 5 (or 6) stationary rollers attached to the floor and glide blocks attached to the slideout itself. I don't believe my glide blocks are wooden but rather some type of composite plastic. Call GD customer service, have your VIN number ready, and open a claim. If GD is upgrading the rollers & glides and adding more of both items then they know this is a problem. With a large capacity refrigerator, a large capacity pantry cabinet, and plenty of cabinets to store stuff all located on that slideout there is just to much possible weight across that area. If GD doesn't make good on a warranty claim you can make repairs yourself but you'll have to over extend that slideout to work on the rollers. You can cutout a matching piece of flooring from several places in the RV... behind storage compartment wall, under the hutch, or under the folding sofa if absolutely needed. Google "RV slideout rollers" as they carry several Lippert rollers. Good luck and keep us updated!Last edited by IBEW Sparky; 10-07-2021 at 06:08 AM.

Before you do anything to the unit I would check with GD and open up a warranty claim. If GD is replacing them with a different type/model then you should also do the same. I'm not 100% sure but there might also be an adjustment needed to the slideout to slightly raise the inside edge as it extends & retracts.
