I discussed the wood floor issue with Newell's floor supervisor. Even though the laminate flooring is not very thick, Newell will not install it on any coach that has HWH hydraulic slides. My coach has this system and there is a piece of specially designed metal that is located in a place that slightly depresses the carpet fibers when the floor is pushed in. Since the laminate floor cannot be depressed, it would be damaged when the slide is moved in. They attempted to it on one coach, but the installation resulted in them having to raise the floor next to the couch when the slide is extended which is unacceptable.
