To slide (out) or not to slide out??
Hi, newbie here and I have a question. I am looking to buy a new TT. I am new to RVing too and want some insight. Is a slide out worth the money and more importantly, the potential problems they ma...

Our current TT does not have a slide, and when we were shopping we deliberately looked at models that didn't. This was because we envisioned using our rig for extended cross-country trips and did not want to deal with any potential mechanical or weight issues. While that may seem inconsequential to some it was important to us at the time. Also, our current rig is a "wide body" model, at 101" across. We really have never felt claustrophobic in our trailer, even when cooped up inside during bad weather. That said,
Our next TT (and we're about 2+ years away from that) will probably have a slide. By then it will be just the two of us, so it's not a space issue, it's the nature of the floor plans we like. Our criteria include Terryallan's observation. We were at an RV show recently and I was amazed at the number of units that would fail on these two points.

And you have to make sure you can use the camper with the slide in as well. On some, you can't get to the bathroom, or fridge with the slide in. A deal breaker for me
