I just replaced my flooring with laminate flooring and yes the slide will scratch the new floor but here is what I did, 1st off there is plastic glides under the slide on each side inside the RV, you need to bring the slide out in about a foot to get to them, they are screwed on, remove them and file them down smooth and reinstall, than with the slide in about 3 to 5 inches use a air gun and blow out under the slide inside the RV to clean out all little rocks and debri built up from the years of use, also use a wet rag and get under the slide inside and clean it as much as you can, use the file on any sharp things sticking down if you come across any, then use WD-40 and spray under the slide inside to lubricate the slide underside as it slides onto the floor, than you can install your new floors.
Note it might be wise to blow out under the slide often, maybe 3 to 4 times per year depending on your use and respray WD-40 under the slide inside to keep it sliding smooth across new laminate floors..
What does most of the scratches are small rocks that get under the slide when you come in and out of RV, they get stuck under your shoes and find there way under the slide.
Yes you might get some small scratches over time but just buy some touchup scratch pens for laminate floors..
As to the rollers stated above I don't see where they could even be installed under the Fleetwood slides of your year, mine is a 08 Fleetwood Bounder with a flat floor slide out, maybe the same as yours.
