First, it was a real pain to get the carpet out from under the edge of the slide. I tiled back to the rollers and then installed a piece of probably 1/2inch by 3/4 inch quarter round out in front of the rollers. You can still see the rollers in the second picture because the quarter round wasn't installed yet. I painted it flat black so it looks sort of shadowed and dark and less noticeable under the edge of the slide. I can try to get a few more pics if it helps. The rig is in storage but I may get over there this week.
My vertical slide trim boards did rub on the tile so I removed them and trimmed a little off the bottom. I didn't have to lift the slide. As you can see my slide is what I call the old style so I'm not sure how the newer flush style would work.
Thanks again for all the info.
I had removed all of my carpet in the main area to expose the underlying vinyl flooring that is put down the entire length and width of the trailer last spring. I still have carpet on the slide part itself but that will go with this next project. I may just replace that piece with new carpet.
I have two different type slides on my trailer one of which I have had completely apart and rebuilt the framing and flooring but the big slide I have not had apart.
So with the slide completely extended in the out position you then tiled to just under the edge where it couldnt be seen?
I am not sure mine runs on rollers but will have to check it out.
