I can not speak specifically to the model you are asking about but if it has the Darco wrap then, IMO, it is a problem. After months of asking my members of this forum no member has posted that they have gotten an answer from Primetime as to a resolution to the problem.

X2 on a problem ! IMO primetime has no fix to stop the wearing of underside fabric.
Primtime makes a good unit compared to others and has good customer service.
I notice other units on the market with this fabric all have plastic wear strips. PT don't offer that on there models.

im not sure what exactly the 28.5 is? but i have darco on mine and its been in and out literally hundreds of times....no issue? i dont think prime (or rvguy whereverver he may be) ever came to a definitive solution.....although several were discussed?...
it seemed there were speicific models having trouble more than others i think?
try a search on it.....wonder if the new models still have darco wrap?

is yours wood with darco tape ends or darco fabric across the full under side.
Most that I have seen that wear the most are under kitchen slide outs with full length fabric. This is a laminated floor, the bottom exterior layer is a product called FloorBrace.
My old 2013 tracer was wood with tape ends and had no problem.

Is there a certain kind of tape to use to repair a hole in the Darco material? I have a small hole/tear in the covering on the bottom of my trailer, not a slide bottom. Maybe debris flipped up from the road?

Is it darco fabric or corrugated plastic?
Darco tape for fabric. You can buy corrugated plastic at hardware stores and use automotive plug fasteners.

It's the DARCO material. I need to fix the fabric material that covers the floor between the outside of the frame and the side of the camper. Not the corrugated plastic is on the bottom of the camper between the frame rails. Thanks for the help.

Gorilla tape or darco tape will work.

Darco tape. Prime Time sent me some and I've used it on my slide and it works very well. Ensure the area you are covering is clean and the ambient is reasonably warm when applying it.
Gorilla tape will also work just fine.
