How to build an RV slide out floor from scratch the right way! | RV Repair and Renovation

Today we're building a 12'4" slide out floor from scratch. I used two sheets of 11/32" 4x8 sheets of plywood and two 15/32" sheets of plywood. The glue we used is Wilsonart 950 Red industrial strength contact cement.

Definitely need an install video. I can’t seem to find a decent one anywhere

[@ChasingVertical]

He has a partial install video on his TikTok account...

[@tvengineer]

Ok so great floor build, now I know how to do that. How about installing it back into the slide? Does it go in from the top or the bottom?

[@jonathanhenson]

Would like to know the same. Did you do a install video?

[@nemideergoon1844]

I do these as well and from the bottom, put some make shift legs screwed into the exterior of the slide (2x4 on the vert). Put them on the outside of the slide (as in the back and front wall of the slide.) not on the outtler wall. This allows the new floor to slide in between the legs when bringing it underneath the slide for installation.

This might be a stupid question for people, but my floor is wasted. Exactly my whole side is but before I go pay someone I will try myself. My popout is all manual. Has rollers but you have to man handle is yourself to get in or out. . Anyways my question is : at 3:25 something about the grain of wood. Why do you want it the same direction?. Thank you

Thanks for information. Where can one find Wilsonart 950 Red industrial strength contact cement?

[@timoroake9125]

Do you have a video of removing a slide floor from the rv

[@dannysalyer4624]

Did you brace the slide?

[@MELESAKUEHN]

I found Wilsonart 700A Premium Aerosol Contact Adhesive. Is that just as good?

[@GregLewton-np7qy]

What width did it end up being?

[@ricardogarraton1225]

what can I use instead of Wilsonart 950 Adhesive? I can not get my hands on the 950.

[@jamesbrickhouse1524]

Is the black water barrier attached with the same contact glue you used putting the plywood together?

[@Edhooey]

Yeah he shows the barrier material install at the end of the video.

Why is it that no one uses pressure-treated plywood for this fix? Or marine-grade plywood

$ money $

[@brettbarker8444]

So if it’s our own it’s worth it. I was wondering about wrapping the top of the plywood with the weatherproofing…

[@bridgettgrimes8187]

I did an sealed it wrapped. I'm old woman not planning on doing it twice

[@sljack1671]

I just saw a ladies video using pressure treated plywood.

[@KristaBechard-nc5bj]

What kind of saw

[@jpnm81]

Can you use flex seal for weatherproofing?

[@gharley898]

I’m having trouble finding the Darko waterproofing fabric. Can you give me some direction on where I might find it?

[@monicasmith7070]

Did you happen to find the Darko.

[@gharley898]

What is the degree angle for the cut to the Bival

[@DevinTheRVDude]

They're all different, but this one was 20°

[@greenrhinofarms2830]

6:07 why not just paint it in bed liner?

[@killianredrusty2]

Or use a roofing material like EPDM (rubber)? I thought about that too.
