Bedroom Slide in fifth wheel

Another poster once mentioned he used a piece of (I think)polyurethane strip, 1/4" thick, 3" wide, and as long as the travel portion on the carpet, so the low bed edge could easily slide over the carpet. You can probably get it at a good hardware store or marine supplier. King Starboard (marine) would work but it's very expensive.

I would think a small piece of poly cutting board would work just as well.

If it's still under warranty I recommend asking the dealer to see if the slide can be adjusted to accommodate the problem. OTOH, I've seen a few slides that never seems to be adjusted just right, and I have one out of three on my signature FW that is problematic. Without examining the whole slide, how it operates, the adjustments,and how it's dragging, it's difficult to make a recommendation.

Our bed has rollers mounted under it. But one roller is not positioned correctly . One corner of our bed was dragging slightly. I could not unscrew the roller without removing complete bed and frame.
I cut a block of wood the same thickness as the roller is tall for the bedframe to slide on . To keep the block positioned properly I ran some screws through the block protruding through the bottom of the block about 1/8" . They act as grippers in the carpet to keep the block from sliding around. Rub a little Ivory soap on top of the block for lubrication .
Works great. Easy and cheep fix
