If it will make you guys feel better I will just take an axe and rip a small hole in my non slide out model. That way, mice, bugs, water, dirt, dust, pine straw, and other things associated with slide outs can also gain access to my trailer.
And there it is!
I knew there was some unsubstantiated reason for not wanting a slideout. I have had 2 trailers with slides and in 10 years have never had anything come in through them. they are sealed very tight. you will get more dirt coming in through the door than what you think comes in through the slide. but if your content being crammed in a nonslide trailer during a storm go right ahead (been there done that). I know you say you came from a tent, but the reason you are getting a trailer is because among other things you want the room, so you might as well get as much room as you possibly can! its not like slideouts were just invented yesterday, they've been around for at least 20 years!
There are many other things to worry about on TT`s.... like water leaks, tires, poor brakes, and poor build quality among other things! A slideout would be the last thing I would worry about.
