Just another observation from out here in the real world.
EDIT: and while I agree that a slide-room adds a potential fail point in overall trailer use, I personally would not own a trailer without a slide.
It adds so much room and a feeling of openness to the interior, it's worth the potential service risk to me.
Agree, but this is what was posted, "You are NOT supposed to use the slides when they are retracted.
This pronouncement by a self-proclaimed expert based on a small sampling, is another example of someone taking one or two examples and stating that what they say is a universal truth. I have seen slideouts that were fully supported when retracted. All? No. SOME.
Besides, the real question is, "Can I access the bathroom while pulled over at Walmart. I do not know of many bathrooms that are actually located in a slide. Unlike some others, I might be wrong about this.
