Slide floor damage in one corner.
In the pictures I attached, you can see that the floor in one corner has separated from the side wall of the slide. The plastic piece, that it appears to slide on, has become a little mangled and broken. The slide will operate ok and have had no problems with water or leaking. This slide runs slower than the driver side slide but I figured that is due to this slide being bigger. Has anyone seen this before or have a good guess what went wrong or what could have caused this problem?

Pretty common. It has to do with the fact that there is NO support to the slide floor when the slides are retracted. That's why you should not walk on or load the slides when not fully extended. Easy enough fix, usually, by jacking up the floor and putting new and more screws in through the side wall into the floor. Those screws are the only thing holding up floor when slide is retracted.

A big OMG to this reply. I read about staying off the slide when it is retracted...now it is clear why. I'm also amazed that it is those little screws holding it together. I suspected that but then I thought...no way. It seems they were just to hold on the strip that covers the seam. That would also explain all the sealer also that must be there to help hold it together.
Thank you for the prompt response.2021 Reflection 150 Series 295RL

Screws in the side trim either broke or pulled out.

This slide has 2 recliners and a table with chairs (see the 295RL layout). I suspect someone stepped on the corner when trying to get to the back of the trailer without extending the slide. I'm not sure how the plastic piece got so mangled. I also noticed the other side is about an inch off the floor, where this side of course is almost on the floor, but the middle edge is pretty much on the floor, which means the ends are up and the middle sags. Would that be correct?
