Slide Out Floor Is Rotting Out In RV

Question: My slide out under my bedroom is rotting out... looks to be black preesboard. What is the time and cost of repairs?


Thanks for the question. I can't give you an acurate estimate without more info but it does sound like it's a serious leak issue. If the pressboard is Black and rotted you have have more than just a floor to replace.

Keep in mind there is a good chance the black in the wood you see is mold and is very unhealthy for you to be sleeping over.
My suggestion is you have this looked at as soon as you can. I'm sure a repair of this size would be better done in a shop than using a mobile service.

The slide-out will most likely be completely removed and repaired as needed and re-installed.

Good luck and let me know if you have any more questions.

Good luck,
Robbie
