Exactly how important is a slide?
I said I'd never get a camper without a slide, but we've found a hybrid that looks really roomy and doesn't have a slide. It's a 2007 Roo 233. The price is right and it appears to be in good condition...

We have what I call a baby slide in our HTT. It moves the couch out about a foot. The difference in moving thru the trailer is amazing! Can it be done with it in? Yes, but with DW, DD, DS and two pugs, things get real tight real fast. Even if time is spent outdoors most of the time as was mentioned before, there is still the bed time and morning time routines where people are up and moving but have not made it outdoors yet.
We camp year round and there are times when it rains all day long. So we enjoy being away from the craziness of home and play games etc. Again, the slide just makes it a bit more comfortable to move around.
We have had our trailer for 6 years now, over 10,000 miles traveled and not one issue with the slide. However, I don't disagree, that the risk of issues is greater when one cuts a hole in the side of a rig. However, if done right (engineering and quality control during manufacturing), it shouldn't be a problem.
Just my two cents.
