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.

Never understood the reason for slides in a truck camper. For a couple of extra feet you pay more, have more weight, more mechanical issues, and an area where cold air can get in. For people in Class A and Class C motorhomes who spend weeks in one campground I can understand but a truck camper is more back roads and parking lots for a night here and there and a slide is more trouble than it's worth.
Some of us do use them to stay in a campground for a week or two. We just wanted the truck camper to be able to tow the boat and run our son around for his math camps while we are staying in a campground for a week or two and loving it over our old class C. We also use it for some back roads and parking lots on the weekends when he isn't in his camps. I knew all the downside to the slide and still think it is worth it for us but know they aren't for everyone. Great thing about RVs is there is a size/type/etc. for everyone that wants one.... some more than one... and that would probably be me if I had more room/money/time.
