We had one in a previous trailer and I found it to be a waste. You not only loose square footage, you loose the height between the old floor and the top of the slide. I may have been influenced by the fact that that particular trailer had pass-through storage doors, but I wouldn't bother with a slide again.
I'd have to measure again, but I think that the clearance for the lip of the compartment and the thickness of the plywood was 2 3/4", so I'm not losing much there either. The Montanas have doors that are pretty close to the size of the basement itself, which cuts down on the wasted space that you had to deal with.
I'll have to do the measurements again and I'll post exact numbers on the dead space I expect.
