I have the same problem - water entered through the side at the bottom. Has anyone had the slide floor replaced? I have a superslide with dinette and couch and another with the head of a queen bed in it...I have a quote and want to check it for reasonableness.

Next spring I'm having a RV tech replace two slide floors in two different trailers, both slides are 4'x 12' in Forest River trailers. The tech quote is $1500 per floor and I will assist. On both trailers we believe the water came in from where the floor is attached to the wall. The sad thing is once water enters the cotoplast does not allow it to leave. The OSB absorbs the water and the freeze thaw cycle speeds its demise. The local shop wanted $3500 and they took care of everything. The tech told me by the time you find it, Its to late. I like the room with the slides but a trailer without slides is sounding more attractive. I had to wait until next spring because they had 5 trailers to replace the slide floors ahead of mine. They also had a few roofs to replace. They will use plywood instead of OSB.
