Thunderingquiet I totally agree about Tiffin but as many slide outs is not a good idea, they weigh too much and each has a potential for failing.
When evaluating a mh the buyer needs to do research when determining the amount of slides versus weight. Our Phaeton has four slides and FULLY loaded we are still 900 pounds below the max CC weight of our chassis and that does not include the towing capacity. Sure the more slides the potential is there for problems. But slides have been around for years and have become pretty dependable. On our last DP, that we had for 10 years, we never had any problems with the slides. Sure the 'potential' is there for failure, but having the extra living space far exceeds the fear of a potential failure.
You are correct about the sliding storage trays in the basement. We have one, but wish I had two. But without a raised rail chassis the height on things on the tray is severely limited. If you store something more than 9 or 10 inches it will limit how far the tray can slide out on the opposite side.
BTW - Tiffin is not producing the front engine diesel anymore Tiffin Motorhomes.
