RE: coleman slideout rot

[shyann]

 
I have noticed that when you slide out the dining area on one side the fiberglass wall is rotting and the wood is exposed.  Does anyone else have this problem?  How about suggestions on how to fix it.  Thanks

It s not the whole side wall.  It s only the very bottom .  I think we are goint to bondo it.

sounds like a warranty issue, did you buy it new? If so call the dealer, if not, maybe you should send an email to Fleetwood on this.. This may save you from having to rebuild the slide out... Good luck

Having great familiarity with bondo, I would strongly suggest that you not use it.  Most times it is used incorrectly from its intended purpose and will only add to and cheapen the look of your unit.
