Sometimes projects just keep getting bigger and bigger! We were not sure the extent of the damage until we decided to remove the furniture and boy are we glad we did. This camper has been sitting for 1-2yrs under cover and can you believe the wood was still WET!
Originally we thought we would just replace the rotted area, well it was easier to just replace it all! The trick we found was to lift the slide out as high as you can to slide the floor in at an angle and just a lot of brute force!
Super happy to have the floor solid, we also did a water test with the hose and after 20min of running the hose we cannot find where it would have leaked. :/
Onto the next project! Thanks for watch folks,
Zach Manring

Nice repair. The Dominos with the mending plates make a huge difference.

Yeah big difference haha. And later we added another 1/2in on top just to help the bounce. It really turned out great

@@SouthernGinger Nice, you now have a 5/4 thick slide room floor. You also saved the $6k the shop would have gladly taken. Also, I think they hold the camper hostage for 6 months. Not sure on that one, like you, I try to do my own repairs and avoid the shop like it was the plague. Cheers!

Hi, this video was really helpful. I'm having to go through the same process right now. The floor in the pop out was completely rotted out on both ends. Do you have more details on how you got the new floor back into the pop out? I'm noticing there is a lot of downward pressure right at the transition between the pop out and the main cabin.
@SouthernGinger
@SouthernGinger 2 года назад
Yeah we slid it in from the bottom mainly

Hello I need some help I replaced my rv slide out floor but when installed back now when I slide it in it hit the corner frame which makes the sliding hard or noisi. Could you give me an advice. Thanks
@rgsilva80
@rgsilva80 2 года назад
Great video. My question is when y'all put the two pieces of plywood together did you use something to hold it tight until the liquid nail dried off. 🤔 like some big oh clamps or how y'all did it?
@SouthernGinger
@SouthernGinger 2 года назад
Yeah you totally could use some clamps but we also added floating tenons between them to give is some strength, not just the glue. Also we added another 1/2in on top once it was in the slideout. It's super strong now haha.

So glad I came upon this video! In the same predicament with the same concerns. I can't afford to buy the domino setup nor justify it so I'll just go for a tongue and groove instead. I was gonna back it with 1/8" flat plate. What are the metal plates y'all used?
@SouthernGinger
@SouthernGinger Год назад
Yeah I understand I just happen to have a domino so I used it hehe. The tongue and groove might work fine I would make sure you back it with something solid over that seem. Those plates are for decks and rafters, check your big box store for those
@johnfithian-franks8276
@johnfithian-franks8276 3 года назад
As well as waterproofing the underneath, you will need to glue all plywood together.
@SouthernGinger
@SouthernGinger 3 года назад
Yup we used liquid nail to glue it together unless you mean something else?
@IGroatman
@IGroatman 2 года назад
Great video! If you did go with the extra 1/2 on top, what type of plywood would you recommend with the pressure treated underneath. I kind of did what you guys did but need the top piece as well unfortunately
@IGroatman
@IGroatman 2 года назад
I put pressure treated under, but the top piece is going to be somehow exposed (with sectional carpet) so wasn't sure. Thanks!
@SouthernGinger
@SouthernGinger 2 года назад
Yeah we just went with a standard 12in ply on top and overlapped the seem.. under the couch we used 1/2 foam to save on weight

I just bought a camper for pernamant living 3 weeks ago and found out my sons room slide out is rotted. Its a flush slide out and ive watched so many videos but I feel like I cant do this job myself but I have to. I cant afford to hire someone and its just my 4yr old son and I. This video was helpful but still looks like the mechanics of the slide are different as yours stays sitting on top. Mine comes up from flush and in. Its a small slide, maybe 5ft but feel like I'm going to screw something up!
@SouthernGinger
@SouthernGinger 2 месяца назад
Do you mean the arms are coming from below? If so my RV is like that too. That may mean you need to pull the rotted wood from the top and not below like we did

Whatever you screw up I'm sure can be unscrewed! Take your time. Watch the videos. Have all the tools. Get help if you need it. A helper is always good. Think it through. You can do this! Can't never could! The confidence, satisfaction and knowledge you will gain will be a blessing. And you will save some bucks! Go for it!

Did you have to support the slide out with a jack stand or anything? Retract the slide out to get floor out?
@SouthernGinger
@SouthernGinger Год назад
Nope it came out through the bottom without retracting. It's supported from the inside but it wouldn't hurt to add a jack stand or something to help hold it

No, we just muscled it out, the slide out will stay opened just fine. I wouldn't recommend closing it without a floor however. It becomes a little flimsy
