Boston Blacky, I'm facing the same question. I ripped out the carpet, both in the living room and on the slide. I'm not so concerned about what type of vinyl floor covering to use, because there are many great products and a lot of good advice here. My concern is the slide riding over the floor smoothly, without causing damage. I also noticed (as someone alluded to, maybe you), that the carpet on the slide goes over the lip and underneath the leading inside edge. So that carpet under the slide was sliding on top of the carpet in the main area of the RV.
When I get to this point in my project, I'll run the slide back and forth and really study it (I assume they're all slightly different). But if anyone has any advice on this specific issue, it would be very helpful. With the possibility of carpet staples left under the slide lip, etc. I wonder if the only way to get it right is to remove the slide.
