Fifth wheel slide out max weight???
Hi guys. I had a few RV's from diesel pushers to fifth wheels to bumper pulls. After all this, I am now looking for a fifth wheel again with a 10 foot slide out to modify so I can replace both windows...

Slide outs are self supporting with MAX weight load when FULLY EXTENDED
Flush floor slide outs (those that tilt up when retracting/drop down flush to floor when extended) have minimal weight load support when retracted and/or when in motion.
Floors are typically 1" plywood but that subfloor is only fully supported when extended
Probably support 900# bike when extended but the floor would probably sag when slideout is in transition & retracted position for travel.
Plus bike would be tilted towards outside........not so stable
Might be better off with a Toy Hauler and remodel it to your liking
