Good to know this so I don't "blindly" recommend the company.
Regarding slide outs in general, I don't like the idea of having a massive hole in the wall (3 holes in your case), counting on gaskets and awnings to hold back the water, wind, poor temperatures, bugs & dirt. Something inside me says it just isn't right. But I do think differently about it than most of you.
I know as single RVer I have much less space requirement than most of members here. No slides and happy. Slides can be very nice and open up the room for those who need them.
Complexity increases risk of problems though, especially in product that has reputation of marginal production quality. Slides, holes in roof, number of windows-anything that can be left out will help ease maintenance and repair requirements. This isn't aimed at OP, but newbies looking to buy. Can you live without one or two of the slides? No flimsy skylight? Some options are almost a guaranteed source of problems long term. As former auto exec said at one time: Parts left out cost nothing and are not around to break later.
