Slideout kitchens?
For starters, I really LOVE the Laredo 28re floorplan we have at the moment; and it's giving us no problems. BUT - it's 11 years old; and since we're a car dealer, once in a while a repo RV goes through the auction. I've been studying newer models, so that IF one showed up and Ed called me and asked if he should bid - I want to be able to make a slightly-educated guess...LOL!!
It seems like the majority of newer 5ers (we're mostly interested in 28 to 32'), offer part or all of the kitchen as a slide-out. My purely gut reaction to that is "one shouldn't put gas, water, drain, and electrical lines in something that is moving in and out"??? I've read posts about pinched drains and worn gas lines... but I realize we generally hear about the problems, and there could be thousands of RVs with kitchen slideouts having no problems.
Are my concerns senseless?
