Cruiser

patriot CF335SS</span>Has anyone noted cracking in the bottom of the slide where the slide rollers make contact with the bottom of the slide - contact patch when the slide is fully in.

I have cracking in two areas - middle roller area and forth roller area.

I sent the pictures to crossroads for review.

First of all are you talking about the bedroom slide that has the 5 rollers about 6 inches long?
I have a CF335SS 2012 and had problems with my slide. What had happened was the outside trim was not sealed correctly and water got down in under the fiberglass sheet and the plywood flooring for the bed. The plywood got water soaked and the weight of the slide on the rollers cut grooves in the fiberglass that it rolled on. Thus I had to have that all replaced. The dealer I got mine from did the work and resealed the unit better than the factory. So far all is well. Crossroads fixed it under warranty.
As far as the other 2 slides I have had no problems other than a little adjustment is all.
Hope this helped you out a little.

Yes it is the bottom of the bed/wardrobe slide I am referring to.


Photo - area by center roller - area by forth roller is similar but not as deep of a crack

Looks like the repair will be to add metal strips where the rollers contact the bottom of the slide- working with crossroads on the repair options.

My suggestion is to forget the metal strips. Thats not going to fix the problem. Have you checked the wardrobe area for a musty smell. From your pictures this is the same thing that happened to me. I would settle no more than REPLACING the floor board under the bedroom slide. The plywood flooring in mine was water soaked and that is the reason the nylon rollers broke through the fiberglass sheeting. Have your dealer do it or take it back to Crossroads.

my bedroom slide leaked in the same area the small trim piece on the bottom of the slide had flexed from the heat just enough to crake the seal. water was running down the wall and between the side wall and the trim piece and running in under the bed area. I had to reseal it and now no problems.

CrossRoads have a recommendation for the repair - part

#231660. It is a flat powder coated

piece of steel. They have been used in

the past on other types of slides. These

are about 6� wide and the rollers roll on it. They are screwed (countersunk)

and sealed to the bottom of the slide floor and add structure and a smooth

surface. They are used on the Redwood

line of full time RVs - http://www.redwood-rv.com/.</span>
