Undercoating for slide outs

[denise P.]

We have bought a 3 year old Praire Schooner, with triple slide outs. The seller said they only used the 5th wheel approx. 5 months when the owner became ill. We bought it on consignment from a dealer. Our problem is the white plastic coating under the bedroom slide out has ripped and there seems to be plywood underneath. How do we go about getting new plastic or should we buy a different type of coating for this area. We are afraid that the board underneath is going to warp. This is a trailer my husband is going to live in for the next 11 months so we need to take care of this soon. Thanks

Locate a dealership here that sells your brand of RV and ask the parts department this question. You will have to follow the links on the manufacturer's website to locate a dealer near you. Yes you should replace the plastic ASAP. In addition to your observation about the plywood warping, it may also tear or rip the carpeting. Welcome to irv2.com!
