Mile High, my basement access is under the slides too (like many Class A's) and what I do to avoid having to dip under the slides as much as possible is the last thing I do when setting up is open the slides, and the first thing I do when getting ready to leave is close them. Once I'm level and have the power and water and sewer hooked up, I drag out all the chairs and whatever else is under there that I'll need and then open the slides. When leaving close them up before putting everything away. Makes life so much easier.
Sometimes we don't always think of simple things like that. It was quite a while before I thought of doing that. If I'm boondocking without power, I just fire up the generator to open the slides when I'm ready so as not to drain too much power from the batteries.
Actually now that I think about it, I thought of doing that when I stood up after hooking the sewer line up and almost split my head open on the edge of the slide. After I came to my senses, I thought why do I need to have that dang slide open right now anyway?
