i have metal strips under my rollers.

I've been thinking this would be the outcome but I'd really like to avoid having to hire a CNC shop. I was thinking of having a couple of machined stainless steel strips made.

I agree this is a viable and maybe even a better solution but if this weight problem didn't exist when the coach was new, why does it exist now?

I have not seen yours and mine is much older, and over time the rollers put a lot of pressure on that floor, the weight of the some of the slide is transferred from the slide to the floor through the 2 in or less dia of the roller, and it is a very small contact area which creates a lot of psi. On mine the rollers sunk the floor in about .125 of an in. which actually stopped the slide from retracting all the way. There was also a pot in the controller that I adjusted to help it retract. Also look at the slide does it retract even from side to side? You may need to adjust the slide to come in evenly. You don't need a CNC shop to fix this. .030 steel strips will do if you have grooves in the floor.
