StoreMore Slideout System
I note that Winnebago and Itasca have this feature. The basement compartments under the slide go out with the slide, so one does not have to crawl under to access the compartments. I haven't noticed...

I have a 2006 Itasca Ellipse that has the Store-Mor slides, and specifically looked for a motorhome that had it. As a full timer, I'm constantly opening the storage bays, and after constantly bending over and hitting my head on my last MH I'm very happy with this feature. If you look at the rails on a Store-Mor, you'll see that they're significantly larger than those on a conventional slide, and I've been told by Winnebago that each compartment can safely hold 300 pounds. Yes, it does reduce the storage area, but it's worth it to me for the convenience. We keep food and fluids in the compartments and have been down to 12 degrees without freezing, so I don't believe heating is an issue (the water bay is not a slide-out, and is heated). I see it as a matter of preference, nothing more.
