Slide out that goes 6 feet out. Great idea!!!!

I wish I had that when I was RV-ing in my 68 VW bus that I modified for camping, that is neat.

There is no such animal as a 6' side slide. A REAR slide, yep. Jayco and a couple of other companies such as KZ have been making them for years.

Looks kind of cool to me.

The Lug_Nut report.  Through the years we have seen motor home and trailer slides multiply.  First there was one, then two, and soon after three and four.  In the last couple of years the full wall slide has made an appearance.  Is that it?  Are we done with slide out innovations?  It would appear not. 
The Monaco Dynasty, for one, is now offering a five slide.  Now, more than four slides, two each side, five does not sound very appealing.  After all, what can an additional slide offer that can not be accomplished with a good four slide floor plan?  Well, apparently, lots. 
 
 
 

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.

Does anyone recall the total depth of the "slide-in-a-slide" that National RV introduced?

I 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.

I've had two vw vans, a '59 bus and a '71 Westfalia. Looks neat.

There was a bathroom in there? :H

Looks neat, but pricey - 70,000euros is $89,130.
