Slide-in access vs preferred floorplan
Hi folks. I have a question for those who travel and have units with slide-outs. I am currently comparing two floor plans; the first is my preferred floorplan but it has limited access to the living...

I just don't care what access is like with the slides in. It takes only the press of a button and a few seconds to remedy the situation. As far as etiquette, no one that matters cares if your slide is out.
IT's not so much about etiquette, But it can be about safety.
In a busy rest area or truck stop. They are places where it is OK to park with slides in but not with slides out.
You may find yourself in a situation that you had not plan to be in, where extending slides is a safety issue.
Slide in access is a real factor that a wise RV'er considers when it is time to buy. Going into slide access blindly would be a mistake.
Im going with Scottg on this one. In a rest area I generally try to pull over so the slide goes over the grass, some rest areas had nobody in them so just slid it open. We are generally weekend campers with 1 long trip a year so I dont base my entire purchase on the chance that maybe once I would not be able to open them up. so far in 15yrs I have not run into that problem.
My advice is get the floorplan you really like - you will figure it out from there
