Strap stuck under rubber seal for slideout?

Anyone have any idea what this strap is? It seems to be stapled to the floor, so far out that it gets stuck under the rubber seal for the slideout.

  • Looks like a piece of a pull down awning strap. Perhaps if you have one and it was replaced or repaired at some time this part had torn off and landed there.

    Not a seat belt. It's a travel trailer.

  • Not sure but maybe to pull the slide in with. Our MH has a strap under the couch. It also came with a boat type strap winch that hooks over the steps on the other side. If the hydraulics fail you use it to pull the slide in. Just a guess.
  • I'm tempted to take the staple out and shove it back, but I really have no idea what it is.

    I'm also wondering if this might have something to do with the fact that a section of the rubber seal is no longer attached to the body. Sometimes it gets caught and rolls out further than it is suppose to.
