It is my experience with slides both the big ones like yours in the living room and small ones like in the bedroom are fine when moving the trailer on smooth surfaces at SLOW speeds. What needs to be avoided is bumps at more speed than a crawl. My last Fox had the large living room and a smaller bedroom slide. I moved it a few times while living in it without bringing them in to adjust locations in the RV park I was staying in in Richland Washington. It caused no trouble. The moving speed was an idle for my diesel truck on pavement.

Unfortunately for me to turn mine around in the location I was in would have required either driving around the block with the slide out, or some very sharp turns accompanied by backing into a narrow driveway. And my backing skills are legendary... In a bad way. And even then there's a huge tree blocking the sun for most of the day, and even though there's no leaves on it it probably would've taken a long time to melt my slide.

I agree with driving out on the streets would be wrong.

Good or bad, right or wrong, it certainly was a tough way to start my morning, and I certainly hope it wasn't a taste of things to come. But it seems like 2020 has just been that kind of year for me.

Ah geez. So much for the bon voyage stuff. Well, you did not slip off the ladder and you arrived where you were going to go, with apparently no bad effects. So that's all to the good. Here's to a better day manana! Magpies always look like they're having a good day.....maybe it's because they're so flashy in appearance, and so loutish in their behavior.. Hm. OK. Onward and upward....or outward at least when you're ready to head out..

I was looking for a start to my voyage that was bon but it ended up being more malheureux than bon. But like you say despite all that I made it here safe and sound. Mañana is always a better day, but Mañana never seems to arrive.

Scary situation but I suspect you made the right decision. The trick now will be to remember that next year.

It did have me worried for a while, but there's usually a solution for most everything if you give it enough thought, and are willing to take the chance you might be wrong.
