Ernie,

I do not know exactly how the Valid slide mechanisms work so my comments may be inValid.

When you start to work on the coach, pay particular attention to how the floor that raises and lowers comes up. On the HWH, it pivots, and the clearance is so close, that if you run the floor all the way to edge of the slide it will catch as it pivots. This will make a lot more sense when you run the slide in and out a couple of times. I was trying to minimize the seam when the slides were out, and I notice on the hard surface floors that Newell installs, that the seam is at least an 1/8 if not more.

Also pay particular attention to the deck height of the flooring, because there are some elements that will slide in and over the fixed portion of the floor. I had to raise the dinette seats, and a couch to get them to clear. It doesn't matter with carpet, but hard surface could scuff.

You are the pro at this and I feel a little sheepish even commenting, but those slides present some unique challenges.
