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...

Our new Jayfeather X20E has a small slide that is just for the couch. It only moves out about a foot but man, what difference that foot makes! We often camp with 3 adults; myself, my wife, and adult daughter. In the morning when everyone is getting up and showering and getting coffee, etc. its really nice to have that extra room to move around. The slide is what sold us on the unit. And its one like Rockhillmanor said, when slide is in it doesn't block anything.
If slides are so prone to break, why do the majority of new trailers I see have them? Many with 2 or more slides. Yes, we read about the problems here, and maybe we even know someone with a slide that has problems. But on the whole the complaints I see are few and far between compared to the sheer numbers of slides I see in the campgrounds and RV parks.
Ultimately you have to get what you like and what you can live with. I hope what are going to look at works out for you. No matter what happens, its always fun!
