I have the kitchen in the slide and was worried but I just inspect the hoses when I first got it and once a year, 5 years now and no problems. I will only have a TT with the dinette on the awning side, I can see my site, kids playing, everything going on. Most TT can't see there own site while in the camper, and are looking at there neighbors when indoors. This also usually means that the exhaust from the fridge and water heater are not under the awning, so if you dry camp this is nice.
The only downfall is I have not seen a super slide with the kitchen in the slide, only the narrow slides.
Our experience with our kitchen slide has been the same as the other posters--no problems. We too wanted a curb side dinette looking out on our campsite and not the neighbors. We looked at several super slide floor plans and we couldn't understand all the windows looking at the site next door while not being able to see our site. We also have a lot more kitchen counter space. I hope the kitchen slides never disappear completely.
The kitchen slides did get deeper in 2012, at least on the Bullets. Not as deep as the super slides, but still a noticeable increase.
I'd like to see a curb side dinette/kitchen slide floorplan with a kitchen island like those islands that are showing up curb side in several of the new super slide plans. Not sure if it could be doable or not.
