How Many Worry When Watching Slide-Outs??

I don't give it a moments thought.

I do. Our current travel trailer is the first we've ever owned with a slide and although it's just a shallow sofa slide every time I hit the slide switch I wonder to myself "Is this finally the time the darned thing won't work?" :E. Over the years I've personally spoken to enough other slide owners to know that slide failure does happen, regardless that many forum pundits will insist that such failure is just not that common. No, it's not life threatening but it sure can be a real PITA, especially if you're sitting in a campground 1000 miles from home with inoperable slides ... and yes, I've personally seen it happen to others. To date, with 3 seasons under our belt with our current slide rig I've had no issues but that certainly doesn't remove the concern ... I wouldn't say I "worry" about it but I sure am "aware" that it's a possibility. Yes, I do appreciate that having a slide does open up interior space but if we were still doing as much long distance traveling these days as we used to do a few years ago I would again have been much more inclined to buy a non-slide model and avoid any potential slide issues entirely, just as we did for years with our previous non slide KZ Spree 240BH-LX. All this is why, when we (i.e. my wife) decided on a slide model, I insisted that it at least be a design in which the entire interior of the trailer would be accessible even with the slide retracted into the travel position. ;)
