We chose a motorhome with no slides intentionally for several reasons including having more cargo capacity and less chance of mechanical problems. (to each his own). At one campsite a neighbor came over and proceeded to lecture me on the advantages of having slides and that there was little chance of problems with them and that I wasted my money on an RV that had none. I let him know politely that I got exactly what I wanted, it was best for my use, and I didn't buy it as an investment.
Two days later when he went to pack up and leave one of his slides failed (gear broke or jammed) and he had to wait a day and a half for someone to show up and get the slide in (still not fixed). I politely waved goodbye when he finally pulled out but I was thinking Karma...
and to the OP, my wifes Harley is bigger than mine. Some are surprised when they find out she rides her own.
