Full wall slides reduced storage?

The one thing it does do is it covers the wet bay area when extended.

Only if it's on the driver's side! Mine is on the passenger side, so no problem there. To us, the big advantage of the full wall, rather than two smaller slides on that side, is that it eliminates the bottleneck that many coaches have in the middle (when slides are out).

Actually, the side of the slide doesn't matter.
My full wall slide is on the driver's side, storage moves with the slide, and the wet bay is the last bay back on the driver's side, which is NOT part of the slide.
I have the driver's door, then a slide which goes the length of the living room, galley, and bedroom cabinets. That leaves about 4' at the rear of the coach, which is where the wet bay and electrical hookups are located.

And no, I don't have "pass-thru" storage, BUT when my wall slide is out, the last compartment closest to the front of the coach is exposed, and has an end-panel door that locks with a key. If you open that door, you can slide a 22' piece of lumber into the storage bays under the slide, as they are contiguous. Can't do that with "pass-thru" :)

It's hard to imagine a place for a 22 foot piece of lumber fitting but you have apparently found it! A guy in my RV club has a Beaver that has the storage compartments attached that move with the slides. It's amazing what you can see under the coach with the slide open. He was able to work on his fuel filler hose connection with the slide open with plenty of room.

There is a coach for every person or as the they say in the car business, 'there is a butt for every seat'. :D
