Slide vs no slide
I’ve owned A TT with a slide for a few years but find myself looking for something a little lighter and newer. The cost of a new TT is cheaper w/o a slide than with. Other than the obvious reduction...

Our last TT was a 2007 Forest River Rockwood, Model 2502. We ordered/received it in October 2006. Only just now giving it to our niece.
The reason we didn't want a slide at the time was the weight limitation on the 2005 Nissan Xterra. It was limited to 5000 lbs. The trailer was a tad under 4000, with all the factory ordered options. The SUV had no problems towing it. Finally traded the SUV at 90K miles for an F150, so we could take more gear.
The downside of not having a slide really didn't bother us until we brought guests. When the couch is folded into a bed, the pathway to the bathroom almost disappears.
Nothing like doing the "crab shuffle" down the hallway in the middle of the night. We made it work, but we typically don't take guests. If we did, a slide would be a must have for us if we go back to having a TT.
