Look up Roadtrek Ideal. Nice idea, but sometime simpler is better. A slide out makes the interior very cramped unless it is extended.
My wife and looked at the Ideal 5 years ago. I suppose the room of the RS (with slide out open) in the size of the SS seemed like a good idea. But the extra weight in the short wheelbase SS really decreased capacity, and the retracted slide out decreased interior space.
I think that when you take something, and try to make it do more than it was meant to do, you end up with less than when you started.
