- mlts22Explorer IIThe earlier Doubleback only seated two, so this is a bit of an improvement.
I've seen some Schwintek slide arrangements which were fairly creative. I like telescoping slides (a wall slide, then a dinette slide in that), but these add a lot of weight to a rig. - ol_Bombero-JCExplorer

Why is this such a great design? After all, anyone could just add a 5 or 6 foot slide and have the same effect. Wrong. The beauty of this design can be quickly seen when the slides are in the retract travel position. The interior is still livable. You can get to the bathroom and move about just as you could in a conventional 4 slide. Any single slide much deeper than 36” would render the interior nearly unusable in the travel mode.
There was a bathroom in there? :H
Donde esta el bano?..;)
~ - Roy_LynneExplorerWow, I want one.
- calewjohnsonExplorerI wonder if it is a Schwintek system...
Cale - Mich_FExplorerLooks neat, but pricey - 70,000euros is $89,130.

- wa8yxmExplorer IIII think a six foot slide is possible but........ I have been on sites where my slides extended over the site lines ON BOTH SIDES, in fact one site my neighbor's slides extended into my site and mine in his, (Thankfully at different places) so you had to walk a zig-zag to get around our rigs.
had the slide gone out six feet... We might have had a problem. - Dutch_12078Explorer IIDoes anyone recall the total depth of the "slide-in-a-slide" that National RV introduced?
