Still researching things. Looking for ideas to steal and maybe improve upon. For me, the materials and time to do it are substantially less than the hit I could take by selling my (already completely paid for, no loan) motorhome and getting another with a slide. I have owned coaches with slides before and most did have much room for improvement. We paid a lot of money for a diesel pusher with 4 slides once. We had some issues with slide alignment, weatherstripping letting bugs and weather in, etc. There was definitely some room to make it a better working feature.
I can agree that a half assed attempt at cutting a hole in the side of a coach will prevent future buyers from coming around, but if custom features kill resale then my goose is already cooked here. On this current MH I have already redone bedroom suite with a matching entertainment center, a larger bed and storage, relocated water tank, outside entertainment, new carpet and laminated flooring, and some others. I will post some pics on a new thread as soon as I get a chance.
Although I would readily drive this one cross country any time. This one is a little MH that is to just facilitate small trips for us. We just miss a few of the features of the larger MH's we have owned.
Thanks to all. If I decide to tackle it, hopefully sometime I will report back here with a build thread.
