Independent slide controls

We currently have a Class C with a single slide. Looking to move over to a 5th wheel with multiple slides. It seems that many of the units are a single switch for all slides (vs each slide operating independently). When I questioned it, the sales rep said that you can disconnect (?) the connections to put only one out a time if needed. Could you chime in on this and give me a better explanation of the concept? Do any of you do this? My concern was being able to open up the kitchen slide slightly at rest stops to allow access to the refer without opening up the entire unit or even opening only one side in a tight campground.

Thanks!

That salesman is telling you anything to make the sale! Could what he said be done? Most likely. Would it be a royal pain in the a$$ to have to do it? Definitely! disconnect-reconnect-disconnect-reconnect...Gimme a break! Every fiver we've owned had independent slides therefore, I'm not really going to be able to help you. If anything, installing some extra switches (assuming slides are electric) would be a far cry better than the disconnect-reconnect routine suggested by the salesperson. These salespeople never cease to amaze me with their idiocy!!!
