I didn't see any skis? I have skis on mine Am I going to have to take the skis off in order to get to screws underneath that hold the floor to the bottom of the frame on the right and left side?
This IS a GREAT video! It shows most of the "real world" scenario encountered when attempting this type repair. Great tips. I'd like to know a source for that sheathing material, "Darco"(?), that you secured to the new flooring board. I have asked around at many building supply companies and am not having much success.
I've been waitinf for you guys to release a more detailed video! There's limited resources available online so thank you for sharing. I'm working on replacing a bedroom slideout floor which has a Schwintek slide system. The challenge I'm facing is the bottom aluminum rails for the slide that are fed through the motor gears have an L shape and are holding the floor along the sides of the slide out. Without removing those rails I don't see of a way to drop the floor. Do you have any suggestions for this type of slideout?
@buncrana87 & @robd6709: The 2x4's that are used to support the Slide-out's weight are attached by removing some (I would say at least 4 or 5) of the screws holding that vertical "T-molding" trim and screwing longer screws through the 2x's and into the original trim screw holes. You can hold the 2x4 against the T-molding while placed firmly on the ground and slightly tap it with a rubber or plastic mallet to know just where the screw holes need to be drilled into the 2x4s. The existing trim/T-molding screws will make slight indentations in the 2x4; drill your holes through at least 4 or 5 at these indents. Get screws that are about 3/4" to 1" longer than the width of your 2xs. Once you are done, simply remove the 2xs and replace the original screws. If you feel this operation has left the screw holes too large, there are many ways to snug/refill the holes for a secure refit -- caulk, match sticks, small wood slivers, etc. I hope this helps.
