I do not nor have I owned a TC with a slide... so my assumptions might be false, but I would think that a gaping hole on the side of the body structure does not allow for only but the mildest of off-roading. I can only assume that there would be some racking of that opening.
Am I wrong in assuming that the camper must be almost perfect level for the slide to work properly? Leveling the camper for the night is one thing, but how operable is it when a quick snack or toilet break requires one to open the slide in not-the-best of conditions? Can it be reasonable done if not almost spot-on level?
Again, not owning one I am basing my opinions on assumptions with a little of physics tossed in. But I feel I can safely say that a non slide TC is more off-road capable and can go more places than a TC with a slide out.
Not to hijack the topic, but I would not mind input. Is there a slide TC made that is off-road capable?
