I have a feeling that those that favor slides must live in them or are least spend a lot of time parked somewhere or need to impress others in the camp ground....I don't live in mine, don't park for more than a couple of days at a time--at most a week--and enjoy the fact that everything is in the same place either moving or sitting still. Most of the time just me and my Dog as DWs idea of camping is a 5 star hotel and room service. I personally have no use for a slide and that's what I have, NO SLIDES. But I do have a top of the line coach.
