"!Can't (and didn't) say they all have problems. "
1 your post implies that having a slide will give anyone having one nothing but proplems in my experience this is completely false
,what facts do you base your opinion on ????
2 "The ones I have owned did (not BF). The ones my friends have owned did. Even if completely reliable, there can be no doubt that they add weight. "
So they add some weight ????????
"In most cases make the camper nearly unusable with them in "
really ?
do you have any stats to back that opinion up ????
I have owned 3 diffrerent campers with slides and all three were 100 %usable with the slides in and it appears that that the majority of tc's sold with slides are in fact usable with their slides not deployed
"that (matters to me, may not matter to you)."
honest provable facts matter to me ,not questionable ,possibly misleading opinions
