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 think it's a little different than say forgetting to raise a tongue jack expense wise. I'm guilty of that with farm implements. I usually wonk the jack and have to buy a new one. I do that about once a year. Not this year yet, but I'm sure it's coming. Ripping a jack off is costly to fix but ripping a slide off is terminal.
And yet, some of us haven't left a slide out in over a decade. Or in my case, either of my two slides.
And that is why before you ever move your rig you do a 360* walk around: checking the tires, tie downs, looking for open windows, hatches, compartment doors, entry doors, retracted slides and jacks. and any road or overhead hazards you need to avoid. It takes just a minute to make sure that everything is correct. I do it every time , no exceptions. It saves a lot of grief and expense
