The first thing to show wear in any RV with a slide room is the carpet along the threshold. Lippert's Slide-Out Slicker Set gives you a dead-simple fix: lay the slickers down before retracting, and they act as a barrier between the slide room floor edge and your carpet or tile. No adhesive, no brackets, no tools -- just lift, place, and retract.
Every time a slide room retracts, its floor edge drags across the interior floor surface. Over months and seasons, this grinds debris into carpet fibers and scratches tile finishes. The Lippert Slide-Out Slicker acts as a low-profile ramp and shield, letting the slide room glide over the protected surface rather than chewing into it.
At nearly 40 inches long and 5 inches wide, each slicker spans the full depth of a standard slide room threshold. The slim 0.5-inch profile keeps the slicker flat and stable without creating a trip hazard. When the room is fully extended and you don't need them, they store flat under a bunk, in a basement bay, or in any flat storage space.
Lift the carpet flap at the slide room threshold, lay the slicker flat against the end wall, and retract. No cutting, drilling, or adhesive required.
Smooth low-friction surface protects carpet fibers from compression and abrasion and prevents tile scratching during slide-out operation.
Covers both sides of a single slide room or one side of two separate slide rooms. Sold as a matched pair at 40 inches each.
Once the slide room is extended, slickers lay flat and store easily -- under a mattress, in a cabinet, or in a storage bay -- until you need them again.
Proper placement takes less than a minute and makes a measurable difference in floor longevity:
Without a slicker in place, the bottom edge of the slide room floor -- often a hard composite or laminated panel -- contacts the carpet or tile directly. Common damage over a single season of weekend use includes:
Replacing RV flooring -- especially if it extends under the slide room -- is a significant repair. Slide-Out Slickers are a low-cost preventive measure by comparison.
