I've never seen any mention of this in
any owner's manual, including my own, so unless someone can provide a link that supports this argument I'll continue to regard it as an old wives' tale. :R The only caution I'm aware of warning against using a slide in the travel position was with the early version rear glide trailers in which the rear bed glide could extend out as much as 5', with much of the weight supported by ceiling tracks when in the travel position. KZ in fact later offered optional bed supports that would sit under the bed frame when in the travel position so it
could be used without being deployed. Other than when we're actually camping our FE's slide is kept in the travel mode and since I park the rig here at the house during the season it sees almost daily use, no issues whatsoever. I'm with those who wouldn't own any trailer in which slide(s) prevented full access to the interior and I further wouldn't own any trailer in which I couldn't use all the camper's facilities whether the slide(s) are deployed or not. As another already posted, if that were the only choice then I'd rather own a trailer with no slide(s) at all. ;)
