My opinion on slideouts
After reading year after year of all the problems with slideouts, I have come to the conclusion that they are one big gamble! Any one else think the same ? Jack L

It IS all about PERCEPTION and that can be done without the need for slides..
But the RV industry makes RVs with things folks THINK they need and one of them is SLIDES.
RV is all about wants and not needs. I've lived 60 years without an RV. I didn't need one. Now I want one. And I want one with slideouts because they give me more space in the same length. I don't want to go from 35 feet long to 40 feet long because of limitations on where it can be parked and how it handles on the road. Those are real differences, not perceptions. I will probably pick a trailer with 2 or 3 slideouts. I looked at a random trailer floorplan and the slideouts were 2 to 3 feet deep; not 1 or 2 feet as you argued. The widths were 6 to 12 feet; not just the 6 in your example. And that's not a full-wall slideout like some. That's more space than just adding 5 more feet to the trailer. But if you or anyone else doesn't want slideouts, that's fine with me. I just want to point out the difference is real, not just a perception.
