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 ...

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.
I don't live on a tight street and have a long driveway to park my rig in.
I keep my rig plugged in at home 24/7/365. I can have full access to my rig when ever I need it. If I had to store my RV off site I imagine I would not own it.
For the record my rig is accessible with slides in except for the fridge and bunk room. When I need access to the fridge I open the slide as required. My fridge slide does not extend any further then the entry steps when both are extended.
I'm sure there are places where extending slides are not possible however I'm sure I could drive to a suitable a place where slide could be extended.
To the OP I understand/assume Travelnutz is just trying to be helpful.
Nevertheless his post was not beneficial to the topic. After reading other responses it seems others found the post to be somewhat condescending.
While Travelnutz may be more familiar with the OP's RV scenario there is no need to take the high road and refer to floorplans as dumb or to imply that those that are not as experienced or in agreement are not True RV'ers?!
If the designers of the floorplans in question are dumb those who buy them must not be too smart either!LOL
In short there is no need not to be civil in our discussions. We all are entitled to our opinions.
There will never be total agreement,but there should always be mutual respect.
Why have a RV if you are going to keep it at home plugged in 24/7/365?
I keep my rig plugged in as a matter of convenience
The batteries are always charged and the systems are always functional.
I can tinker with it and hang out in it anytime I like. During the camping season fridge is always cold. A/C can be run while loading or cleaning.
When the weather is cold space heaters can be used to avoid winterizing and extend the camping season. No need to remove batteries in the winter.
Keeping my RV plugged in just makes ownership easier.
