I would rather have our exact floor plan without the slide. Never had a slide out problem but I don't like having to hose it off before bringing it in every time to prevent leaves, sticks, pine needles and other stuff from messing up the seal.
Yeah, there is that as well. Having owned several non-slide trailers previously but now owning our first one with a slide this was an issue I too had to address. Ours is a short, shallow sofa slide without an optional slide topper which I felt didn't justify the expense. Instead, I carry a 3-step ladder in the back of the truck which I use to reach the slide roof and sweep off with a brush ... works, but it is an annoyance I'd just as soon do without.
Regarding interior access, we too wouldn't consider any trailer with a slide in which access to the entire interior of the trailer was blocked in any way by the slide(s). With our current trailer that's not the case at all ... parked here at the house we use the camper regularly but always with the slide in, when camping solo with my dog I often don't even bother deploying it, usually only doing a full setup when my wife is camping with us.
