TT with Wood Rot on Slide - Need Fix!!
Hi,
My wife and I just bought a 2005 Fleetwood 23-foot Travel trailer with a rear slide out for the bed. We noticed it has a little bit of wet/soft wood on the farthest end of the bed slide. It's dry and solid throughout the rest of the wood and nothing inside has shown any signs of leaking (we've had a ton of rain over the last week).
My question is, does anybody know of a solution to fixing this without ripping the slide apart? Even if it's temporary and lasts for 6 months, I could at least buy some time. I have heard some use a marine type of epoxy to harden the wood, but wanted to put this out to the forum before I chose a solution to the problem.
Any advice is fully appreciated. Below are pictures from under the slide.
