Heartland with double bedroom slide

[Al_H]

Hi,
Is there any concern with the added distance of the double slide at campsites and RV parks with the Heartland double slide units? They make a lot more room in the bedroom but stick out farther when set up. Anyone have any comments?

Believe your talking about the Big Country 3560SS to which we have and want to point out 2 things.

1. You do NOT have to extend the bed slide if things are tight. Still have access to everything in BR area, just may not be as easy if it was out (bed slide).

2. We have NOT encountered any problems extending it out while camping. While it appears to stick out like a sore thumb, I don't think it's much more than the kitchen/ent slide. It's in storage right now and forgot exact measurements. Also, the sites we've been on had decent space between them, so it wasn't a problem.

FWIW, the DW absolutely loves the BR in this coach. In fact, there is enough room at foot of bed (with things fully extended) that a twin size air mattress fits there. Fireplace in BR is awesome on chilly nights as we leave that on and it cycles on/off. Keeps things comfy. Dog/cat don't move off the bed either. WHAT you have to make sure is to have BR door open fully before retracting the slide. If not, major inside wall damage will happen. You will laugh, but we went from a 35' BH with 4 people to this 41'er and 2 people. Initially had a SRW 1 ton but a year later got a DRW. Highly recommend it. Dry weight was 14,000,max is 16,000, pin 3700. Any other questions on this, feel free to ask.

The one I am wondering about is actually a slide within a slide that goes out quite a ways further than an ordinary slide. I wonder about this at some RV parks where your slide would be encroaching the neighbors patio area. I was going to post a photo of one but cant figure out how to do it.

We have been using our "slide in slide"since the summer of 2015 and NOT ONCE did it effect us getting our site, or extending slides...
The nice thing is that it gives you that extra room in the bedroom without having a slide on the curbside under that awning..

We looked one as well and really like the extra room but as you stated the added width of the slide may cause issues opening the slide fully. I know where we camp the slide would be a no go.
