The bottom of the slide in our camper is black painted OSB. The exposed edge was also painted. I just covered it with Eternabond, wrapping it around the side and bottom.
I would think that there should be no rubbing between the slide and the camper. Our slide sits on rollers and is a cable slide. Nothing rubs. Regardless of the type, something is wrong if it rubs the finish off.
Thanks for the info.
I looked at my bottom panel of the slide out again and it definitely isn't wrapped in that Tyvek wrap stuff. I checked some other trailers and they do have the black material wrapped on the bottom and over the edge.
I don't really know what mine is made of and I have no idea why the edges are exposed. It would be nice to know what it is and why the edges are exposed??
I wanted to remove the trim piece, then wrap the corner of the slide with the eternabond, then place the trim piece over the top edge and add the sealant. But I don't know yet if my slide is the type that the edge rubs when it is retracted. I will have to look when I retract it and see if I can tell.
Better yet, it would be great if I could add a piece of L flashing or even a true aluminum drip cap but I don't know if the 1/4" lip (drip edge) would clear when retracted.
My slide mechanism has 2 large bars with teeth. I'm not sure if thats enough to tell what kind of slide mechanism I have. I am not at the trailer to identify it further.
