Screws

No issue so far. I put them in with manual screwdriver so I don't overdrive and strip.

You could put some threaded wood anchors into the floor. That way you would not have to worry about striping the screw holes over time. If you do that, be sure and add a dab of liquid nails into the hole before driving the anchors in.

Screws

Good idea. I will do that if I start having issues.

I've been thinking of doing the same thing to my trailer and thought a piece of wood like you show would work nicely. But I was thinking that the transition could be permanently fastened to the slide floor and would move with the slide.
Do you see any reason why that would not work? I'd rather not have to remove/re-install every time I set up.

Attaching to slide

The boards I used did not have enough material to attach them to the slide and not break when moved. I think if you used a larger piece of wood and made it thicker at the edge it would possibly work. Or perhaps work some metal into the transition to keep it from breaking.

For me, removing and replacing the pieces is not a huge deal so I quit thinking of more improvement.

Why wouldn't you just use Velcro

Velcro?

Didn't think of it. Will try it when I get back home from this trip.
So far on this trip, no issues with screws.

Replacing our carpeting

We just bought a 2004 Wildwood 29BHSS, with our first slideout. The carpeting in the slideout is kind of outdated and worn, and I would like to have it replaced with a durable indoor berber there. Is that a difficult job to do being in a slideout? The sofa moves out fine, and the carpeting can be done around the dinette rather then removing it. Thanks!

I really love how yours turned out! I was thinking we had to go with carpeting again, cuz we have an old style vinyl from 2004, and know we couldn't match it up to do the slide out with it too.I love that look! I will check to see what you used, so you don't have to repeat to me what type of materials you used!

replacing carpeting

Did you take out your dinette when you were replacing the carpeting with vinyl, or did you always have the table and chairs? You did an awesome job, I love everything!
