The slide is more weight, more potential for problems, more poorly insulated.... just a number of issues. One guy who owned a '07 View Bunk model (no slide) once bragged about how he had never had a slide out problem!!
Charles .... right you are regarding slides in a Class C! :C
I implied the wrong thing in my post when I was being facetious about shopping for our RV and finally finding the perfect one except for it having a "problem" in that it did not have a slide. WE ESPECIALLY DID NOT WANT A SLIDE and were delighted to finally find a Class C that didn't have one while at the same time having everything else we wanted.
We figured that for what we had to spend to get a decent used or new Class C, it better be able to do it all for maximum value ... including occasionally going off-highway to rockhound on rough roads. Off the beaten path is no place for a heavy, wobbly even when retracted for travel, leak-prone, and somewhat complex mechanical appendage that also compromises the shear strength of an RV's wall.
