Reliability of propane and water in slide

[gme105]

Howdy all! We're looking at buying our first RV and have narrowed the search to 30' class C's with a stationary walk around bed. One thing I've noticed on some (like the Four Winds/Chateau 28Z) is the stove and/or sink are in the dining room slide. That seems like a really bad idea as the propane, water and drain lines would have to flex a lot each time the slide moves. The other thing this does is add weight to the slide, adding strain on the slide motors and track assemblies. The question is, how reliable is that? Anyone have experience with a leak or failure in this type of design? Thanks!!

Never heard of a problem with propane and water in a slide, as fulltimers, we have had our Phaeton almost 15 years without any problems. That is not to say those who own other brands haven't had any problems.

Ours has the sink, stove, and refer in the passenger side slide and has never had a leak or malfunction. I've been on this forum for many years and I don't recall anyone having an issue with appliances because of a slide movement. If there has been, someone will verify that.
