I don't think I'd want that. Another mechanism complicating the regular slide that could prove problematic . A simple standard-type slide would do it for me.
Admittedly, slides add a lot of room to an RV interior. My previous 5er, a NuWa Hitchiker had 3 of them (standard slides), but when I sold my unit back to NuWa due to a sudden disability, they paid me very little, stating they found water damage to the slide floors. I'm not sure they were being truthful. The slides never leaked as long as I owned the unit. I was always careful to inspect them during and after any heavy rain. Anyhow, I had to let my 5er go for a mere fraction of what its real worth should have been.
If my current infirmity ever gets well enough so I may RV again, I'm inclined to obtain an RV without slides. I lived quite a number of years full time in an older class A motorhome, 29' long without slides and was quite comfortable with that setup.
