We are 36' and check on the dash, kitchen counter or table that is across from it and in the rear on the back wall ( small ledge- decorative that runs across the width of the motorhome). We also open the microwave door - does it stay open and not slowly swing closed, check the shower door - does it slowly swing open instead of closed again, and our bathroom door - when opened does it stay at the halfway point of open/closed without swinging in either direction. The more level we are, the slides do not ever leak. Off and they will leak in heavy rain.
