Probelms with slides

[Brandon327]

Does anyone know of any problems associated with letting the slides in and out too many times? We have to let our slide out to get to the bathroom when on the road. I hate doing it and I want a new camper for this reason but my wife says no. The camper I have now is a 330fbh.

There designed to go in and out for years and tears of service.
I say keep your slide adjusted and lubed per specs and you'll be fine .

What year? Anything that moves will need servicing but slides have come a long way since they started putting them in RV's.

The worst I could see would be a new motor or lube and seals, but that is going to happen no matter what.

Does it not have the 1/2 bath with exterior door?

[Brandon327]

No

[Lynkage]

I can't seem to find the floorplan without the 1/2 bath. I would not worry about the slide going in and out but I do understand if it is not what you want.
Bad thing is they will eat you alive on trade value so I myself would just use it until you can get closer to even on a trade or sell it privately.

Actually I have been offered more on trade than I paid for it. But my wife is freaking out bc the new one cost more than we paid for the one that we have.

New one are expensive that's for sure. I guess all I can say is maybe try RVWholesalers for a better price and then maybe the wife will be ok?

What was the unit you wanted?

[Brandon327]

I want the sabre 36 qbok. It has the floor plan I like and an outdoor kitchen. You can get to both bathrooms with all slides in and it also has a big shower.

Have a feeling of where this is leading, but then you can always pull off at Rest Stops with facilities.

[Brandon327]

Rest stops we don't like for cleanliness reason. We have 3 girls 6 and under. It is much easier to use the camper facilities.

[Lynkage]

That will be more for sure. 40ish. I have the same thing basicly as that it is just a Primetime instead.

nice units

[Brandon327]

Yea it is closer to 50k after options. I can't find a lower line with that floor plan. They are offering about 5k more than I paid for my existing camper.

[Lynkage]

Not sure but it sounds like that might still be about 20ish in difference. That is no small deal. I can understand your wifes concern.

It really is up to you and your wife.
We can use both of our bathrooms when on the road but if you need water then you need the full bath because that is where the pump switch is.
Is your TV big enough for 15.8k and a 2500lb loaded pin weight?
