Remember also, when retracting the bed slide in, the roof of that slide needs to be free of any derbies, like leaves, twigs, acorns, walnuts and dead bugs, anything that might fall on it. So, you'll need to carry a ladder of some sort so you can reach the top and sweep it off every time you retract. --- this is just something to think about if you've never considered it. It's not bad ... you just need to be aware of it if you are really considering a camper of any type with a slide of any type.
Our most recent travel trailer is the first we ever owned with a slide and as a shallow sofa slide rather than a large deep slide I chose to not ante up for the additional cost of a slide topper. That meant the additional annoyance of having to carry a ladder for reaching the slide top to clear it of debris and because slide toppers aren't made for rear glides one would therefore want to also carry a ladder for this same purpose.
As
DutchmenSport said this isn't an insurmountable issue but it does further complicate trailer setup compared to any trailer with no slides or glides at all.
