Mitch,
OK, yes the slide floor needs to be beveled (chamfered) on the bottom side that will ride on the metal trough they used on the 2004 models. It is important that bevel is there to help with the timing of when the slide starts to lift up on the way in.
See this post I linked when I fixed my rotted slide floor and how the water got in the screw holes of the black plastic membrane. And how I fixed that issue with the drip edge. There are a pics of the floor bevel on the bottom. It is a fairly big bevel.
Good luck. Sounds like you had a lot of work to do. It all takes “time”!
John
PS. In the event your camper has the next generation slide floor, it has a plastic coating bonded to the bottom of the 1” OSB floor and the slide trough is a combo of plastic and metal, then let me know. Sunline changed the slide floors between the 2004 and 2005 models and that bevel is very different. I found later in some late build 2004’s they got the upgraded slide floor and trough. If yours is the new floor let me know and I will hunt for the right pics/post that shows the newer floor setup and how to fix the water wicking in the ends of the new design .
