Wow first time ever on this site that I have seen comments about slides on the patio side I guess I will have to get rid of my 30 ft slide on the passenger side - not over my dead body - hint the more slides on both sides the more room and better it will be
Welcome to forum:)! And for sure, your thoughts are shared by many.
That being said, a few comments that I feel are valid on slides:
1) Slides do impact access to basement storage. So having say the front patio non slide, allows for easier access to some of the basement storage.
2) Slides add weight and reduce structural integrity/strength. So each slide added, does come with a price.
3) Some of us like to RV in places where space is a constraint. Having slides only on one side of the coach, can aid in fitting into higher corners. (And yes, with coaches that have say four slides, for sure you always have the option to not open all of them:)!)
4) As mentioned before. Slides reduced upper cabinet space by 5-6". So depending upon layout of coach, a non slide side could have more usable upper cabinet space.
For sure we all come at our RV decisions based upon what we feel is important. Heck, I know many owners of higher end non slide coaches, that would never jump form their rigs. (Newell, Prevost Based, Country Coaches, Foretravel, etc.) And I know many RV'ers that like to go to a location and stay for quite a long time, that have four slides. Two couples I know, specifically choose coaches with super slides, so while only 2 slides, they're the mega slides:)!
That is what 'choice' is all about...
Best to you, and all,
