Our old Sunnybrook had a similar set up, they called it a "flush floor" slideout, so when it extended it dropped down and made a flat floor with the inside.

I have a couple of staplers too, one shoots T40 staples but those only come 9/16" long max. The other is a narrow crown stapler that will shoot 1" long staples but they are only 3/16 wide, mainly used for carpet work. Will have to look in HD for the one you have.
Good pics on the slide support, that's exactly how I jacked the front of the slide up when I replaced the rotten part of the main floor. Bottle jack and a 4x4, I can go up almost an inch to get the new blocks in there.
Your are right about the front/rear of the slide taking the load from the slide walls, and I thought it was interesting that the gap in the back was still there but the floor seemed to be sagging in the middle.
Forgot to post, this is the new flooring that's going in, vinyl click lock plank from Costco LINK.
