Kitchen slide problems?
I remember reading several years ago warnings about avoiding kitchen slides because of plumbing issues. Should I reconsider any coaches because of that? I'm referring to better MHs not base models 200...

Early on with this MH I had the drain line break because a support/clamp was left off. The moving part has the flexible lines in a C shape that roll in/out. Instead of a clamp at the end of the rigid drain line... at the flexible/rolling line, the only clamp was 3' back so the pipe was flexing and finally broke. A new pvc pipe and a $2 clamp at the end solved the problem.
I agree with Trackrig that a refer in a slide creates poor venting of the heat.
*A friend with a 2000 Beaver which had a flexible drain line that was a couple inches too short and finally pulled off... a longer line solved the problem.
I would not worry about it.
I had the same problem right after I bought my Coach. If I were you I would just look at the plumbing to see how it would be to work on. Some have all the plumbing inside the cabinets under the kitchen sink. Mine is exposed under the slide and easy to get to. I wouldn't hesitate to get one that is easy to work on. The other...not so much. Just the opinion of a non-mechanical guy. Good luck.
