As a boondock style camper I went with no slide .
We camp down gravel roads and have some "vados " to deal with .
I like the structural integrity that our 2002 Komfort 21T has 12 years after we picked her up .
That baby is rigid , leakproof , and very convenient to use on trips when we are moving each day .
As to rainy weekends we just spent several days in February at Bullard's Beach next to the mighty Pacific Ocean .
We put up our awning and a couple of EZ-UP Quik-Shades .
We cooked outside on the portable BBQ under an EZ-UP .
We had frequent campfires also under the edge of an EZ-UP .
Time spent inside was playing cards and sleeping .
