I had the same problem midway through a 7 week, 9,000 mile circumnavigation of the lower 48 this summer. I fashioned a temporary fix on the road with washers and wood screws from a hardware store and then did more permanent fix when we got home. The basic problem is that they used screws designed for countersunk holes into the soft plastic slide.

My permanent fix was to rip a thin strip of hardwood that lay in the channel, countersunk new holes and used new, longer wood screws and then sandwich the slide between the wood strip and the bathroom wall. It has worked fine since the repair. I did not like their original stop and need to find a small rubber bumper to screw in where they just used a screw.....which was also cracking the plastic slide.

I just got back from a week away and the trailer is folded up and in the yard. It will be a day or two before I have it open, but I will post a picture or two then.
