When I was young, I lived in a Bronco with a pop-top bolted to the back. Growing up in California where rent was high and weather was warm, I could not understand why everyone wasn't doing this. I could drive up a mountain where those VW buses could not reach me and have the views and the place all to myself.
Then once the family came along, my RVs became Westfalias and then Eurovans. But these stopped being made in 2003, and I just got rid of my last one about two years ago.
Now that I am retiring and looking to get into a real RV, I am completely amazed at slides. Of course I have seen them popped out at campground, but never realized the impact they have on the interior. But now understanding this, I can't help but wonder why they haven't evolved onto the smaller vehicles.
I can see not using them in the Class B's and C's because they may interfere with walking back while traveling, but I would think that TCs and all pull campers would be getting smaller with more slides. Why are my options for three slides only on the biggest of the big TCs?
