Just... realize that Murphy's Law is a real thing. When my slide did break, it was really nice to have no issues using the bed, bathroom, furnace, and making a sandwich for dinner while on the way home. Make sure the trailer is useable - even though it's cramped - with with slide in.
x100! :B
Mr Murphy aside, the one thing I absolutely insisted on when considering the purchase of our first ever trailer with a slide was that slide had to not limit access to the interior of the camper in any way. Our current Freedom Express 192RBS met that requirement ...
During the camping season I keep our 192RBS here at the house parked on the driveway and because I use it pretty well every day having full interior access with the slide in was mandatory. Often when solo camping I don't even bother deploying the slide as there's plenty of room for just myself and the dog. When traveling we often stop midway to our destination for lunch, for retrieving snacks from the cupboards and fridge, for bathroom breaks. Sometimes after checking out of our campsite we'll head to the beach for the remainder of the day then before leaving for home even shower or eat supper, all of which necessitate having full interior access with the slide in, just as would any trailer that doesn't have
any slides. Pick the
right slide floorplan and it can work quite well. :B
