What is the advantage of the slide? The tow length is the same with it in or out.
Well. I'm no rocket scientist, but it appears that the slide will give the occupants more interior room. As is the case with all trailer slides.
This isn't a side slide or a rear slide. I understand why slides normally make sense.
Look at the pictures with the slide in and out. It takes up the same foot print with the slide in or out. It seems to have all of the disadvantages of a slide and not of the advantages. Why make a slide that extends onto the extra long tongue? Why is this better than making it full length to start with.
My suggestion collapsed it is more manoeuvrable in small spaces, but stretches to allow interior space.
Look at the photos. It is the same length with the slide in or out.
