Full wall slide vs multiple smaller slides

Being I have full slide and after 9 years we still love it. Just opinion but the user should level the coach before deploying and run it all of the way out or all of the way in. This helps support the roof. Like a lot of post the people don't own products seem to know more about them than the owners!;)

Tinkerer, I don't want to knock your full wall slide but just because some of us don't have one, doesn't mean we don't know about them.

I stated earlier in this thread that I prefer 4 separate slides. We have friends that had no trouble out of their full wall slide on a '07 Monaco Signature. Now that I praised my full slide it probably will give me problems. It usually happens when I brag about something!

I had to help my brother push-in his regular slide on his '05 Damon Astoria (sold), those are heavy enough.

I like to keep the top of my slides clean. I don't see how you can possibly keep a full wall slide clean under the awning. And, stuff WILL get under the awning.

It would be very difficult to try to push-in a heavy full wall slide if it ever failed (chances are good that you may never need to).

I also had the awning topper on our Monaco Dynasty's living room driver's side slide pop off in a windstorm in Malibu, CA. I was able to climb on the roof and unscrew it and put it inside (lucky on that one). It was 14 ft. long, how would you store a full-wall slide awning (over 20-25 ft. or more?) if it was ever needed?

Our current new coach does not have awning toppers as we have air seals. I still like to keep the tops of the slides clean. My extension pole will barely go the length of the longer slide and would no way cover a full-wall slide under an awning cover.

Again, nothing wrong with a full-wall slide, it just wouldn't work for me 'maintenance-wise'.

Safe travels,
MM.
