Park models

I was not aware that "Park" models had slideouts. I thought that they were limited to a certain square feet and some sort of cheated that by adding a "storage loft".
but then it has been many years since I was looking at them.

I have been looking at the forest river salem villa models. My experience with FR is they aren't made well.

I run my slide couple times a week. No issues. Lubricant is the key.

I have 7 Park Models as rentals but none have slide outs

They brought three different ones into our RV park last year and all three of them needed major repairs .
One needed a lot of the pipes replaced and they had to redo the roof, and yes another one had the windows leaking.
After what I saw, I would never get one.

Park models are designed to be set up and that's it folks. But if it has slides. Well you can run 'em in and out or not.. Up to you.

I have a camp way out of the way and was going to up grade from an old FEMA trailer. I feel I'll need to close the slides to keep the mice out when we aren't there.

Lots and lots of seasonals/permanents up here in New England. Park models, TT's or whatever you want to call them. Noticed most have slides, seen lots of nicely maintained ones but also noticed lots with green moss growing on them. My guess the slides are opened/closed just once per year. Maybe not ever on some... seen some scary looking RV's

Yeah I get that growing on mine in very remote West Virginia. I have to give it a bath once a year.
