Look at the two largest mfg Forest River and Keystone and I bet you find the floors do indeed float above the trailer floor. It's necessary for slide floors that are flush with the interior of the rv. They will have zero support on the front side until the slide is extended then it will rest on top of the trailer floor along with the back and side walls. If the floor is not a flush floor it will probably have support under it.
This seems to me one of the more lunatic discussions in awhile. The 'floor' of a slideout is no less supported retracted tha it is extended. I have never seen a retracted slide "floating" unsupported when retracted. .... Usually it is resting on its rollers. Maybe there are some really cheap units I've never seen???
And remember the only stupid question is one that is not asked.
