my slide houses a 4 person dinette so at 200 pounds per person it should easily support 800 pounds. only 2 of us ever sit in the dinette so if there were space (there isn't) I could stuff 400 pounds in and not worry about it. Don't over think stuff
The question wasn't "support." It's what the slide mechanism will move in and out.
Unless you get bored and everyone jumps in the dinette and rides the slide in and out for fun... Wheeeeeee! LOL :)
Don't these slide mechanisms have overload clutches? So if you put too much in the slide, it will simply click angrily at you instead of moving.
I'm betting you'd have to fill the storage compartments with lead to get enough weight to stop the slide mechanism. Unless you make your living as a traveling leadsmith, anything you could feasibly put in the compartments will be fine.
