I have been reading positive reviews of Herculiner, a do it yourself bedliner product. Seems to adhere well, is abrasion resistant, and can be touched up. Thoughts?
Does your slide floor have rollers under it? If it has a trough, heads up on the sliding friction of the bed liner. If the friction is less than the Darco and the coating smooth, then maybe it is OK. If the friction is higher, you may run out of slide drive power trying to get the slide in and out. Something to sort out before you change the material.
You can conduct your own friction test if needed using Darco as a base line. Line a piece of wood, put 5 or 10 # on it and slowly raise the angle. Once the weight starts sliding on it's own, the angle is a base line. Record the angle accurately. Then try the new covering. The angle needs to be equal too or less to start sliding. Repeat base line and new covering 3 times and compare the results. Again if you have rollers under the slide at the camper floor line, they help over come the problem.
