Does anyone know what would cause this and is it a common problem. There is no marking under the slide out, and nothing seems to be caught under the carpet. When I look inside the seals on the outside on the floor, it is full of sawdust, wire nuts, old screws and all kinds of other trash. I dont see a nylon rub rail that other companys seem to use and was wondering if heartland does the same: is it just missing on mine or is it not used. If its not used what would keep this from happening again, the edge of the carpet will be rubbed by the slide every time it goes in or out, and possibly rip again. Any help would be appreciated.
The rip started in the back when the slide was in 3/4 of the way and got worse the next time I used it(what the pic is of). The front edge of the slide normally would be off the ground coming in, but with the carpet bunched up it looks like the front edge is catching, however it is not. I think its actually wearing the carpet down in the back every time its used, and finally caught it. So I dont know what would fix this problem besides the nylon rub rail that Ive seen in others so the carpet doesnt get rubbed.
