I'm trying to visualize how the slideout floor on my fiver works. Can anyone point me to a site that might have an exploded view or cross section of the slideout. What I'm interested in is how the slide moves over the floor when being extended or retracted, are there rollers, or other special gizmos that are on the bottom of the slideout floor?

I have googled, but not found any real answers.

thanks

This will depend on what system/chassis your RV is using and how the RV manufacturer supports the floor when it slides in. Many are different from one another. Some use rollers, some just Teflon slide blocks. Some, nothing at all because the floor of the slide-out room lifts as it's being brought in.
