Remember that you are not supposed to put any weight on a slide when it is in the IN position. It would be a deal breaker for me. Our 24" slide leaves plenty of room to get anywhere in the TT.
Says who? What's your reference for this?
I don't have any first hand knowledge (yes a friend of a friend said ...), but I have heard cases of the slide floor becoming damaged or broken when used with the slide in. I don't use mine. The fix it guy at the dealer told me there had been problems. Now what the exact details are he never said. So there could be a lot of variables in play.
I guess it would depend on whether the floor was supported when out, but not supported when in. That could be the difference in some models. For myself I just don't use mine when in.
My TT is fully accessible without extending the slide. All that is in the slide is our sofa and we often use it without extending the slide. If we stop for rest or a meal or even if we drive late and just stop to sleep for the night I might not extend it. Also have pulled it in and hunkered down in some bad storms. In rain it stays out, strong howling winds it comes in. It definitely depends on the model though. We've looked at models that have warnings not to use the slide area unless it is fully extended.
