1" edge on floor of Kitchen Slide?
So we are starting to look for a new 5th wheel. Our current coach (Cedar Creek Silverback) does NOT have a 1 inch edge on the floor of the kitchen slide. I noticed the newer Open Ranges also do not....

Okay, my previous post was on my phone and those little keys are hard to type.
You have two types of slides minus the operational system that extends or retracts.
Number one is the original slide out that had a step up, the second is the flush slide that is level across the floor. Guess which is used where people are likely to trip and which folks are likely to stub their toe.
Both our previous 5er and our present had both flush and non flush. The non flush slides as there are more of these. Usally kitchen/entertainment slides and bed slides. There movement is in and out because no need to be flush as the dinette, living room slide which actually slide down to give you a flush floor.
Just think about it all that weight on the kitchen slide. Fridge, stove, entertainment center, cabinets full of pots and pans, dishware, ect.
If you have a toe stubber it is because of poor design. A proper design would have brought the cabinet face flush with the slide floor. Your manufacture saved a few bucks by not extending the depth of the counter tops aand bringing the cabinet faces out to the slide front.
It's these little things that seperate RV manufactures. Other than stubbed toes if your happy with your rig, enjoy.
