Slideout on the side with outside kitchen and entry door.

I'm interested in a number of TT options. My main question regardless of brand is, Do you like having a slide out of the side of the rv with the entry door and outside kitchen? I have looked at a number of units and I am unsure if I would like it. It seems like the slide would limit the amount of room you have under the awning as well as make it very inconvenient for walking to the outside kitchen. I would like to hear from owners of tt or FW with a slide on the entry side.

    I have a TT with an outdoor kitchen, but the slide is on the opposite side of the kitchen, entry door, and that awning. It would seem to me that if the slide were on the same side it would restrict space under the awning.

    My 5er has a kitchen slide. Yes, it takes some of the space under the awning. No, it is not in the way getting to my outside kitchen because the steps extend as far out as the slide does. I would very much rather have the open space inside the living area when the 2 opposite slides are extended than the approximately 12 sq. ft. of outdoor space lost under the awning.
