We have looked at a 5th wheel to purchase. They had a leak that had been repaired at the time and they also replaced the flooring. Now the slide out sticks. Should this be a major concern and what other problems should we be looking for?

In MY EYES, YES, turn the other way and walk away...
Just my opinion...

Slide outs should function without sticking. Someone didn't do things right. Why buy trouble?

When they replaced the flooring, I will bet the new wood deck is slightly higher than the old wood deck and that is causing the slide to bind. Doug

Why does the slide stick? Personally I think I'd look elsewhere unless I was convinced the slide sticking wasn't an issue.

A slide should extend or retract smoothly with minimal noise. If they did some floor repairs due to a leak, it would seem that the floor was nor repaired correctly. I would pass on this trailer.
