Could you please clarify?  Do you mean the floor part of the slide or under the slide or the floor in front of the slide?  On our 2011 177, no issues at all with slide or floor.

Yes there can be a problem with the floor of the 179 in the slide area sagging. The outriggers are the fix. The rpod floors can sag in other areas as well. By no means do all of them sag, that will depend on the weight on the floor, weather there has been water intrusion, and if the trailer has been subject to high bump loads or not. other models have had sagging floors as well.

FR sells them. Do an advanced search on the forum for outriggers, lots of posts on this, including some on active topics
