Trailers where slides do NOT block access?
My travel partner is wanting out of his current Coachmen trailer, to upgrade somewhat and have something with a slide. He wants something with a better quality of materials and insulation, easily set...

So I emailed the Jayco dealer nearest us, asking about the 23RL slide. I asked if it could be used when not extended. One of their people replied, saying he went out and looked at the trailer in question. (Which I am impressed, if he did that.) He said that the slid is the type that is flush with the floor when extended, and that means that it is unsupported when it is retracted, and the dealership would not recommend using it when retracted, unless some type of support was placed underneath.
Seems like that was an honest answer, but it left me with a couple of questions.
1) Are all Jayco slides designed this way? (Will email back about this.)
2) Does this mean that a slide that sits up higher when extended, DOES have support under it when it IS retracted? As best I can tell, Lance trailer slides are slightly elevated above the rest of the trailer floor when extended. So I am going to contact Lance about this, and get their version.
