The slide has now gouged the floor. I've ordered another set of slide slickers as a temporary measure, but will have to figure out how to support the floor better.
I don't think it's the actual weight of the refrigerator, it's how the weight is being transferred to the floor.
Here's the Dometic's specs:
Now the Haier's:
The Dometic was sitting on a platform, and the bottom of the refrigerator is flat. Almost like it's in a tray which is then screwed to the platform.
The Haier has four rollers and two front adjustable feet that transfer all the weight to the slide floor. That's what I think is causing my problem. I may have to try and recreate the platform...but there's precious little vertical space left. I may have to see if I can remove the rollers from the refrigerator.
Here's a picture of the "platform" the Dometic sat on:
I'd post a picture of the slide floor, but the trailer is buttoned up in anticipation of a visit from Hurricane Zeta. In the meantime, if anyone has an other ideas on how to fix this issue I'd be interested in reading them.
