Slide in = no heat...
Still puttering with our new-to-us Laredo 29RE. I was already bummed that we can't access the pantry with the slide in (the one thing you ALWAYS need to stock before a trip) - but this morning I ran ...

Lantley -
Would you open all of your slides if you were parked on the street in front of your house? Assume you cannot put the camper in the driveway due to the slope, but you want to bring it from storage and park on the street to pack. This to me does seem like a situation where you DO need certain access, such as fridge, with the slides in.
This is how it is for me and honestly- I just manage which way I'm parked on the street (with or against traffic since it's a small side street) when I need access to slides on either side. 3 of my 4 slides are on the driver's side and that gives me access to 90+% of my camper. I just pull in front of the house facing the wrong way so that they're over the grass before the sidewalk.
The few times that I needed access to the passenger-side slide in the bunkhouse, I pulled in going with the street but still had to have orange cones and someone outside because I can't get to my slide switches without opening our main living room slide somewhat (on the driver's side). That's only temporary for loading purposes. On the road, we've been easily able to make do without opening that slide.
That said, with my kitchen layout and unsupported slides - my main slide has to be out somewhat to get around the peninsula where the sink is to get to the fridge. And, unless the slide is out fully, we don't step on that floor meaning that the majority of my living space is unavailable. We CAN get to both bathrooms and the master bedroom without putting slides out.
