    Understood.
    That was a must for us getting the 349M. We had to have "Walmart mode" where you can get into and use the bedroom & bathroom with all of the slides in. As an added bonus, the Morryde steps let me retract those before locking the door .. so it's kind of super-stealth mode.

    Ever run into a situation where someone pulled up so close you couldn't put those steps out the next morning. II know you do need a little bit of room to deploy them. I have seen how close those semi's park next to each other.

    This is definitely the case at a truck stop. Plenty of times we would stop at a truck stop for either the night or lunch and when you open the door a truck is there that wasnt there earlier. Usually I will let everyone in, then fold up the stairs and climb inside. With the stairs that fold in the doorway this would not be possible, there is minimal space between trucks at a truck stop.

    One time I had a guy in a motor home pull up right next to us at 10pm and fired up his geny. We were the only 2 in the huge Walmart parking. At 1am his geny was still going I was exhausted and had another long day ahead so I ended up raising the stabilizers and relocated to the other end of the parking. The next morning at the Walmart McDonald while waiting for our coffee he showed and said, aren't the guy with the tt? I said yep, he then apologized. He only realized after he saw me move and then setup again at the other end the his geny was loud and it was real late. He was new to this.

    New to common sense and courtesy? Yeah there are plenty of those out there.

    when we're staying over night, we rarely disconnect, but like many others here state, we always try to get as level, if possible before opening slides. If we're going to lower the jacks, we also manually lower the jacks, but for overnight stays, we don't worry about them.

    You really need to try boon docking once you're comfortable with your unit...it really does teach you how wonderful rv'ing really is, plus it helps you understand the quirks of each unit that much quicker....

If we wanted to spend just one night somewhere and don't want to go through the whole process to unhitch, is it safe to open slides overnight while hitched to the truck? Also, while hitched to the truck should we put down the stabilizers? For a quick overnight we wouldn't be bothered by wobbling.

    That is sooo coool. Very nice of you to move away from the problem rather than be nasty about it. Props. And the fact that he learned from the experience is even mo betta.

    I don't get very excited about the angle of the refrigerator, mine just keeps working no matter what hill I am on.

    I will put the front jacks down when we don't unhook for a quick nights stop, not enough stress the systems, just enough to take some of the weight off the hitch and add some stability.

    Having slid slides at all angles I don't get to excited about angles for sliding. As long as the rv is not falling over it'll be ok. Could something happen? Absolutely, but in doing my risk analysis of the situation I think the probability of something going wrong is very low.
