It's always good to get as much info as possible before making a purchase, however I find fault with some of the statements made. The one stating that most all slideouts are equal just isn't true. One type that I can think of without mentioning the name had a nearly 60% failure rate according to a poll taken on one of the forums. Look carefully at the heft of the mechanism and have the salesman open and close them several times as poor quality will show up quickly. Toward the end of the video he mentions the tires being out of alignment when I can show you the same thing on most any of the units if the unit was backed into the spot from an angle. If the trailer is pulled forward just a little that appearance will go away. So just looking at the wheels is not a good approach. Like he stated the size and make of the axles and tires is where the real difference is. So that video can be a starting point, but research is still necessary.
110%
Less than 30% of what he says is correct. Using those tires as an example of axles being out of alignment was remarkable.
Hope he learn allot more before making another video.
