Lot more maintenance and repair costs associated with slide-outs.
 
Been in several but never owned a slide-out before...

I'd give them "best in show" for rv's that NEVER DRIVE ANYWHERE ftw :laughing: but yeah... they seem like a drag just waiting to happen if they're always going out, coming back in for a drive etc...
 
Speaking of these things.

What does everyone do with little kids in them? Is there a spot to put kids car seats? Do people just let the kids wander around?

I am retiring in 2 years and am thinking about an camper of some sort afterwards now that im done moving every 2-4 years. I go back and forth between a fifth, tag, and an class a.

My ideal 5th doesn't seem to exist. I'm looking for a "toy hauler." Except with a completely separate small garage area. I don't want beds in the garage. I want a small cargo space with a separate bunkhouse. We go mountain biking and I want to be able to put our shit back inside at night and have beds at the same time.

My alternative idea was a MH with a small enclosed trailer. Bunkhouse, and indoor storage for shit available, plus room to grow if we get into other shit. Kayaking, skiing, whatever.

Anyways, back to the beginning. I have a 5 and a 3 year old. 5 is in a booster, 3 is in a regular car seat. But by the time I get something, the younger one will be in a booster, and im not sure what my son will be in by then. 5th or travel trailer would be easy. Normal seats in a regular pickup. MH would be a better setup for us, but what the hell to do with the kids?

The lack of slideouts would be an issue living in it but for anything else that bus is the shit.

Slide-outs are nice but RVs were around for decades before slide-outs and people survived in them. Slide-outs add another leak point and weaken the structural integrity of the box on wheels.

This stuff. No thanks.

I grew up with two siblings traveling full time in a '47 Brill conversion.

Strap the car seat in using the seatbelt method and then strap the kid in the seat.

It ain't rocket surgery here.

Yeah no shit, but i guess what I'm asking is, are there even seats with seat belts in them?

Looking at photos all I see are a driver's seat and a passenger seat. The rest is sofas and tables and shit.

The only camper experience is renting a travel trailer a few times. I have no exposure with a MH.

The internet is all doom and gloom and "its so unsafe!!" I just want to know what the real world does

Would imagine most folks retiring don't have little kids.
 
I think we had seatbelts on the main front built-in couch, same as my camper van does.

My 1980 RV has them for the front and the dinette. Look under the cushions, and you can pull out the seats. When the mfr lists capacity, they have that many seatbelts somewhere... my dinette only has 3 seatbelts out of 4 seats, as my RV has a capacity of 5.

That thing would look good pulling my 34' race car trailer around.:smokin:


I don't actually need it but the want is fully there and the price makes it very tempting. Hopefully rockmup buys it so these evil thoughts in my head go away.....

You're FOOKED. I'm not buying it, I'm actually still moving to Thailand. I was just wondering about alternatives.

You're welcome
 
I will never have another slide out. my 36' diesel pusher (Fleetwood Bounder) had a large slide and I could not keep the mice out of it, they push thru the gasket on the bottom. Now I have a 32' Class C (Fleetwood Jamboree GT), No slide, No mice.

I let my kid wander. There's seat belts at the table and the swivel living room. My wife was freaked out about car seats and such at first, I think she did it 1 time :lmao: never again.

It's like life vests on a boat, gotta have them in case you get pulled over :rasta:
