The great slide vs no slide debate

My observation.
We have a 24ft class C with one small slide. For the second time in 14 years in broke. This time on the second day of a 3 week road trip

Both times it was a 25 cent roll pin. The first time I had an RV place fix it. So I did not gain an understanding of how the slide works. This time my cousin and I did it.

I was reluctant to try and fix it on the road, for fear I would get it stuck out, then we would be in trouble. So we used it with the slide in for the remainder of the trip.

DW, myself, GD and dog. My observation is this, slide is indeed, a very nice thing to have. We felt pretty cramped especially in the AM and at bed time. Lead to all of us being a bit cranky at times.

Given this experience, I would have not have any interest in a RV without a slide. Others of course will feel different, but this is our opinion

Just learn how to repair a slide and how to bring it in when something happens than you wont worry about slide issues anymore, I to was not a fan of slides before my current motorhome but now I have 2 slides and know how to repair if anything goes wrong, I wont go back to non slide RV unless its a double decker..
