Replacing a Rotten Slider Floor DIY | Camper Life

We're back on our (least) favorite project: the Camper! We did the main floor in the camper, but it's time to clean up the slider floor to prep for winter.

DANG woman you are a rock star. I have been totally and completly dreading doing this. This is a great video.

[nyreeavi]

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. This is exactly where mine is leaking and now it's time to fix.

We need to do this with zero help. Tysm you made it look easy.

You've still got rot & mold inside of that short-wall (probably both ends), at least 6-8" high across the bottom, which means you also have rot on the wall plates...which will spread over into your "new" floor within a couple of years. That entire corner joint is rotted about 3' ft high from the floor...This includes framing, as well as the Luan plywood, which your finished side is laminated to. If there are any buckles in the exterior surface, that is another indication of that surface being rotted & moldy also...de-laminated, at the minimum. Even pressure treated wood will de-laminate & swell, if the edges get wet for a prolonged period of time. The long back wall looks like it may have some issues, also. When you redo the floor again (next time)...It's worth spending the time to remove the rust on the steel supports (especially where the two surfaces join), then prime & paint, because rust scale will eventually lead to a much greater expense & a possible safety issue.

Nice video but you didn't explain or show how you attached the first layer of flooring. Did you screw the first board in somehow? Thanks in advance.

Ah man I wish you guys would have filmed putting the board in. How did you connect thr board together so they don't fall in between ? The inner most part of the slide out has a slide angle to it as it goes under and out from the wall. How was that fitting it in there?

Hi guys! Nice fix. Just out of curiosity, how old was the camper when you purchased it? Since we’re also planning on going the camper route after we get the land purchase settled, watching you do these fixes has given us some insight on what to look for when buying the camper.

Looking forward to more of the house build!

Those wood to metal screws are HARD to find at Home Depot.

[jacicaldera]

How did y’all find that hidden screw in the old slide board? & where was it? Replacing ours as we speak.

[naughtydoggiesowner]

Question, did you glue the two together because I see where you put the glue down but when you’re carrying the new sheet in that goes on top, you don’t see any glue on the floor anymore

[tacomagrl]

Did you have any experience doing this replacement of the flooring? I have 2020 fifth wheel toy hauler and one of my side outs floor is rotted.

[flightmedic]

I have the same thing but seems to be a how on the inside not on the actual slide. Do I just remove the bottom to check first ?

[cgbdvr]

So what did you ever do for the covering of the slide guide the carpet covered

[edwindejesus]

What is the white panel you're laying down over the treated plywood?

[dubeaut]

What did you use to adhere the plywood to your first layer?

[conradogarza]

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

[deathprncesz]

Where did you place the jack supports?

[survivalistor]

I really wanted to see it slide in and out at the end

[emptynester]

UGH! just found my whole slider had dry rot

[joeymihalovic]

STOP THE NOISE/MUSIC! That’s soo annoying!
