Jayco Flooring

[TWP723]

Plain and simple, it's a bad design. Could the flap be 'shortened' to keep it from contacting the island? I imagine it'll eventually fall back to place in the heat but I agree, that shouldn't happen.

The dealer “fixed” a couple of gouges in the floor by heating it and manipulating while soft, so I’m hopeful that my solution will work. I’m thinking of putting a heat gun to it to see if it will relax the vinyl and then taping it down for a couple of weeks to see if I can train it. Will be late March/early April before I get a chance to do that. Will update then

Ours does the same thing on the edge by fridge. But as the temperatures stay warm it will relax and stay down. It only happens on the shortest end from the Island.
Our Island does have a recessed toe kick. But it still hits and causes it to curl. I did not like it at first but if it was cut shorter it would not fit right when slide was open.

Yes, it doesn’t work either. I talked to Jayco service and they said it should relax after the trailer warms up. Cover it with a rug so you don’t trip over it.

Would it be possible to have it fold down when the slide comes in so the the curl presses to the floor instead of up?

[Quigley]

Yes we have tried that also but it is a warped like curl.

The curling up is causing tripping. I did buy a 12 ‘ runner and leave on it for a week. Once you pull that rug up it is flat for at least 24 hours and then it starts growing back up again. Glad it doesn’t bother you but it doesn’t mean when you spend $60,000 you think you’re getting at least some good quality

I Purchased a runner that covers the entire length of where the floor is crawling up it seems to have helped.

I have a 21 RLOK having the same issue.

Reaching out to dealer next week.

[Roadpop]

That is exactly what ours looks like. At first it was just at each end, but now goes the entire length of the slide. Even after the slide opened for a 2 week stint you would think gravity would take over but it curls up more. Would be interested to hear what your dealer says. Our trailer is going to dealer the day after Thanksgiving and I’ll have to see what they say. UGH!!!

Ours is at the dealer for warranty work. Dropped it off this past Monday morning. We have similar issue as you all do, and I mentioned it to the shop manager. He would replace it but said it will come right back. We have gotten used to it mostly and pretend it is not there, until you trip of course.

I like the look of that much better than my carpet, but it seems the carpet is much more resilient and straightens out after just after the slide opens.

I know my carpet bunches up against the island when the slide is in. I assume that’s what’s going on here as well. Wonder if they can’t stiffen that a little or cut it back a hair so it doesn’t fold up on the island but still overlaps the floor a little. Or maybe something on the island edges that guides the overlapping floor down flat as the slide comes in.

Following this thread closely because I'm getting ready to remove the carpet in my (s.o.b.) 5th wheel and install linolium bought from the dealer that has the edge of the linolium sewn along the part that goes up against the island. I'm hoping the sewn edge will prevent or limit the curling problem. I bet someone here will get this problem figured out and then post back. I like the post where they're going to try tape. Maybe carpet tape or some kind of tape that is somewhat heavy to keep it down?

We also have this problem with our vinyl curling up. It’s a safety hazard for sure and a bad design on Jayco’s part. We have a 2022 33 ft Jayco Eagle HT. I was looking for solutions on this site but seems there aren’t any yet.

My other camper is a 5th wheel made by Grand Design so I checked on the Grand Design forum and there were several people that mentioned their linolium curls up against the island when the slide is in but they all said that the curling goes away and flattens shortly after the slide goes back out. There may be some kind of continous lead weight inside that sewn up edge. I will find out when the linolium arrives at the dealer next week and I will post back here to let you know.

My corners are curling...it does not touch the island when it goes in....that is not the problem in my case.

I'm thinking about some stiff protective tape on the back side to make it stiffer....I have the tape...just need to try it.

I will keep everyone posted for an update. Very frustrating to pay $60,000 for a 5th wheel to have had so many issues.

We have the exact same problem with our vinyl flooring. It curls up like yours when pulled in and against the center island, but it also stays curled up when the slide is out! It is located right under the two lounge chairs and the dining table which is quite a tripping hazard. Seems from reading these threads there is no solution so far.

[Merrysmom]

Your picture is exactly what ours looks like!

Tile paste? How about some details on how this is used to correct the curled up flooring.
I saw on Amazon lead tape that could possibly be used underneath the edge to weigh it down. The tape comes in a short roll, only a few feet and approximately 1/2 inch wide.

What does tile paste have to do with the edge of the slideout material curling up when hitting the island?
