It would give the dogs more laying about room & myself more room to manuver around them. But then, in my rig, I carry a lot of weight, so a slide would greatly hinder what I could to carry with me. So it's always a toss up. Pay attention to the cargo carrying capacity of whatever you buy. Although you may not plan on putting too many items into your rig, it's amazing how much you may eventually need. And remember that outside shower for the dogs to bathe with!TexCynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05174615550131393975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8374585414476372943.post-17641638618838120932012-08-15T20:42:54.319-05:002012-08-15T20:42:54.319-05:00A slide would have been handy on my last big trip ...A slide would have been handy on my last big trip out.

Sure, there is always the unexpected or a personal mistake that causes the repair, but it cuts the odds when scheduled maintenance is done. Last week I really didn't care for the amount I paid for the schedule maintenance on my Mini Cooper but I know it will last longer doing it now.<br><br>Good info about slides and being level and thanks for the website that is now bookmarked.Bhoundshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15480236513721739925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8374585414476372943.post-53498209689049433122012-08-11T09:00:38.002-05:002012-08-11T09:00:38.002-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.This comment has been removed by the author.Bhoundshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15480236513721739925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8374585414476372943.post-22955200780863239552012-08-11T08:49:02.933-05:002012-08-11T08:49:02.933-05:00Just a comment about slides: I have had a truck ca...Just a comment about slides: I have had a truck camper with a single slide, and a 40' 5th wheel with 5 slides, and I can honestly say I have never, NEVER had a problem with them!
