About using it with the slides in: a ot of us like to use the rv while traveling, stopping at city parks, roadside tables, rest areas etc for lunch stops, potty stops, even naps sometimes. Urban boondockers sometimes stop overnight where there is no room to deploy slides. What could be used and what couldn't was key to our choice of motorhome floorplan, and it can matter as much for a towable, depending how you use it.
Also important sometimes is how a slideout works. My two are independently operated, can be used (occupied, carrying weight) open or closed or partially open. Many slide out spaces in towable RVs are designed to carry weight only when fully deployed. They are not alway independent, either. A friend has a fiver with for slides, and she needs her kitchen slide out in order to prepare lunch on the road (the island thing). But the slides operate on a single hydraulic system, deploying sort of simultaneously but not at the same rate. The kitchen is the last slide to get out and locked into position, the first to start moving in.
RV dealers like to show the RVs with slides deployed, you see the big roomy interior. You want to see them in as well, and see how they move.
