Slide outs. Any typical construction drawings out there

Question

Just discovered I have the common issue (I guess) of a leak in the corner of one of my slide outs.  I am pretty handy and think I will attack it on my own this winter while not using it.  Love to see what's hidden in there!  I know there's some wet wood along the perimeter of the front bottom.  I assume the slide out is only attached to extending rail at the end.  Just like to see how it is all put together so I can decide to attack myself or write a check...

Would be interested in this also...My manual slide doesnt leak, but it does seem to have some structural weakness in it (moves around a lot).

Unless you have access to a forklift or overhead crane leave it to a shop equipped to handle that kind of work. You'll find the slide needs to be removed to replace the support wood. I watch a shop put a small slide back in after repairs and it was a forklift and 3 men to get it lined up, guided in and secured.

Google Lippert Industries. Plenty of slideout info there.
