Here's a pic I took in my dealer's shop as techs were working on a slide problem.
Obviously not all slide issues require this extent of repair but to suggest slide failures are infrequent just because you yourself have not experienced one is simply incorrect. Slides
do fail for one reason or another, some are relatively easy to deal with by just disconnecting the slide motor mechanism and pushing the slide back in so you can at least get to a dealer for service. Others like that illustrated in this pic you sure couldn't deal with in any campground.
