Why put the fridge in the slide out?
The dinette is usually there as well. I seems to me the fridge and at least two people in the dinette puts a lot of weight on that slide mechanism. Thoughts?

IMHO, the weight is not a problem. There are TC’s with all kinds of heavy cr@p in the slide, and they seem to be able to handle the weight just fine.
From a preferred design and technical viewpoint though, I would prefer there be no electric, gas or plumbing in the slide at all. Which means I don’t want the fridge, sinks, commode or shower in a TC slide out. I just don’t, and I realize that puts me in a very small minority because there are very few (maybe even no) TC’s with a slide out that don’t have at least one of those things in the slide.
The last time I seriously looked at new TC’s I couldn’t find a single one with a slide that I would buy. That’s the biggest reason why I continue to hang on to my 20 year old camper.
