My husband has been opposed to even considering an Open Range fifth wheel because the slide system isn't hydraulic. However, I looked at the specs for them and it says the following: Accu-Slide 4-Corner Compression Slide System. Does anyone know what this means?
I think your husband may be right to being opposed to look at an Open Range. Not because of the slide system. But because they are not all that great quality. They are very well appointed with creature comforts. Nicely decorated. Lots of good features. But their build quality is quite lacking in comparison to other companies. The trailers of today are a lot better than back in 2011 when I bought mine. But I will never buy a new one.
Now Open Range is a wholly owned subsidiary of Jayco. That is good. But what is NOT GOOD is that Jayco is letting them operate solely independently. So I doubt you will get Jayco quality in an Open Range.
