If left unattended with the slides extended in my opinion the majority of slideouts will experience water damage.
Fifth wheel rv with no carpet on the slides.
I have a 99 jayco eagle lite 5ver with no slide at about 4800 lbs.
Ripping out the fifth wheels rv carpet video.
Our carpet had a yellow tint to it which didn t match the rest of the colors in our rv go figure.
Slides have done more to destroy the structural integrity of rvs than any other single design change in recent memory.
The slide carpet is mostly covered by the sofa and dining table so never walked on and the bedroom is a no go zone for doggies and shoes.
Of all the rvs i ve seen rarely does the carpet match the rest of the interior decor.
Fortunately most newer rvs have little or no carpet in other words the industry appears to have gotten the message.
At some point all you can do is replace the carpet.
Late 90 s and early 2000 jaycos have some good options for your situation.
Replacing the carpet in your rv can help update its style and decor as well as the comfort.
Carpeting can get beat up during your travels as you probably have tracked in mud muck and grime at one point or another and there are only so many times that you can clean it before it just starts to disintegrate.
You re going to tell me slideouts are prone to water leaks and i ll tell you you re 100 percent correct.
