My thought is that it has nothing to do with the larger footprint the slides make, but they figured this would be an easy way to make more money from the larger rigs that MAY use more electricity, water and generate more sewer.JMHO.

In all my years of owning parks, I still cannot determine what actually costs the park more money, small RVs or big RVs. The big ones can use more electricity, but they are usually pretty efficient. A popup on a hot or cold night running an Air Conditioner or heater nonstop can pretty much keep up with the electricity usage of a big Prevost. I would bet the water usage is less on a big rig than that of the smallest rig because the owners of the big rigs will us the much more efficient showers and toilets in their RV whereas the smallest rigs use the park's facilities that have unlimited hot water, less efficient toilets etc. Plus people using the park's facilities use toilet paper, paper towels and have to be cleaned up after. That isn't the case with the people who use the facilities in their rigs. My years of experience leads me to the conclusion there really isn't any difference at all.
