Our previous TrailCruiser hybrid had notched drawers that required a "slight" lift to open them and were a constant source of annoyance. :M The drawers in our current TT ride on full extension metal glides but I discovered the hard way they will inadvertently slide open when traveling over rough roads. :E
As you say, to each his own. I personally don't find the few seconds it takes to install 4 shock cords all that disruptive to my preparation before pulling out and I'm certainly much more likely to see that they're in place than locks I may have forgotten to close. :R
OK. :) Personally, I've never considered the slight lift required as a source of annoyance, but that's the only type of drawers we've ever used in 25+ years of RVing, so we are of course used to it. And in that 25 years, I've never had a single one "inadvertently" slide open while traveling. They are also easily accessed "while" traveling down the road, without having to remove shock cords or unlock locks, but of course that wouldn't be necessary in a trailer. I never said that the bungee cords were disruptive, but they ARE another thing to remember. I am normally loading, not just the RV, but either 3 jet skis or 4 ATVs and all of their accompanying equipment, so as I said, I have plenty to do as it is. :C
