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.

Single slide 9'9", full access. We also use our camper accessing the bathroom, lunch etc while on the road. More so sight seeing where constantly pulling off to check the vistas or what ever. Cant imagine having to deploy slide just to grab camera or something. Too many fine lunches setting in a parking lot or side of road where slide couldn't be out.
Also few times where it got late and just stopping for the night to eat and sleep, without setting up makes it simple. So yes camper access with slide in important.
One comment though, when we bought ours we looked at it and a virtually identical non-slide model. Difference, other than cost +500# and seemingly twice the space was the dinette seats about 16" wider, and the table longer, and the seat boxes underneath. Extra cabinet inside and out side beside fridge, so overall more storage than less in the slide unit.
If I couldn't just open the door and enter we would have a non-slide.
