Importance of accessing TC without opening a slide.
I have seen a few comments on TC forums and other RV forums regarding the benefit of entering without having to open a slide. I was just wondering what the thought process is.

I wouldn't buy a TC with a slide that blocked the entry door when its "in". Some slide configurations only block some of the interior space. Others, especially the double and triple slide TC's, there is no way to use the unit without putting the slides out. Our 1121 is totally accessible with the slide in, and the side-door 1161 which was produced alongside the 1121 is also fully functional with the slide in.
I also don't want any plumbing or appliances in the slide, and I realize that I'm probably way out of step with most RV owners opinions on that (no problem). I would buy a no-slide TC before I'd buy one with either of those designs. Unfortunately, that means Lance doesn't make a TC that I would buy today. The no-slide models are all too small for us, and the ones with slides all either block the door or have plumbing and/or appliances in the slide.
