Here are three photos of the repair we made.

The first shows a standard 1 and 1/2 inch extension has been added to the floor fitting. I bought a 6" extension but cut it off to about 3".

The second shows the relocation of the factory installed baffle.

The third shows the strap that I put in to help keep the upper fitting from being pulled down and out of place.

Oh, and you will see the new two piece hose clamps that were recommended as a stronger means to keep the drain hose solidly attached at both ends.

We operated the slide only 4 times since attempting this fix, and if you look carefully you'll see that both ends of the drain pipe are slightly dislocated (i.e., no longer fully inserted). This drain hose movement happened on the first in and out sequence of the slide and did not get worse or grow as we cycled the slide several times more.

if this set up/fix fails I'll report back.
