We have toyed with going the other way. Sure 4 slides are great, but with our present coach there is very little livable room without the slides deployed, because of the stuff we carry and how the slides close up. The 4 slide-outs on 100°+ days make it hard for two roof AC units to keep up with cooling. We have had problems with every slide in 8 years and 90,000 miles of full time use. From gears breaking, pins shearing, motors failing, hydraulic systems leaking and cylinders slamming shut, floor failure in one, seals leaking, drafts along edges, a slide sagging, and scrapes on the floor. Now repairs have cost us very little over the years since the manufacturer has stood behind the unit, but that can't go on forever. Thinking that when we decide we want a different coach after reading this thread. We'll take the great resale value of our 4 slides and buy someone's older, lousy re-sale, high-end, slide-less or single slide, Foretravel, Newell or Country Coach, that was designed with more livable space and storage in the early 2000's.
a lot of your issues appear to show a poorly made/designed coach rather than a general issue with slides. I had no issues on my 14 year old winnie dual slides.
