Our OR is almost 4 years old. It has been drug across the country two times, down to Florida once and right now we are on a two week trip where we took it down to southern Georgia and slowing heading back home. We camp locally just about every weekend during the fall and winter. In other words, we use our camper. We have not ever had a problem with the slide and the camper still looks brand new inside and out. You can get a bad camper with any brand out there. Our last camper, a Coachman, fell apart after three years but we know there are other people out there that have been very happy with that brand. It's all luck of the draw.
