We’ve gone from a classic 30 to a classic 30 slide… could not be happier… three major reasons for upgrade: more lounge room, more countertop, better weight distribution… (being able to use the coach while ‘in-transit’ was also a real plus- some s/o are not useable unless extended)

OK, before you start flaming me on why 14% tongue weight to gross is ‘optimal’… I am speaking from my own anecdotal experience
The s/o tows like a dream compared to the 30 (somewhere ‘round 7%)…

Ditto on leveling… dead-nuts… front to back, side to side… stabs down.. we’ve had no problems at all…

We must not have experienced a real thunderstorm, because water has never been an issue… the 2” continuous rubber gasket acts like a squeegee when retracting….

My opinion on why the slides are slow movers is the towability- you need a superduty/three quarter ton vehicle *minimum* to move these coaches… (let the flames begin) if you’re a pickup person, you’ve got a lot to choose from… but if you need seating for 6+, good luck

If they are in fact discontinuing the 30 s/o, that’s a real shame…
