In the past we have had a slide in, Class A and an older Keystone 5th wheel. All of which did not have to have the slides out to access bedroom and bathroom. Nor did they have high quality steps and Moyride had not started manufacturing same. But then access to those units was no where near as high as our new unit (we have a full 4 steps on the ladder with no entry step inside).
We stayed several times at truck and rest stops while in transit to a campground in those former RVs. We won't be parking back with the truck drivers for sure with our new camper. We will have to look for parking spots that will accommodate our new RV and the need for slides to be out to use it. But I really don't think it is going to be that big of an issue. In fact, I can't think of a single time in the past where it would have been. It isn't going to be any worse than looking for campgrounds that will accommodate a 42' long RV that's for sure!!
I am not so out of shape at present that the rickety OEM steps we have are a major issue but I have had company over that DID comment that the steps seemed wobbly! I am very proud of our new rig and having the first thing folks notice as they step inside being a negative really stinks. So no question for me that the Moyrides will eventually be installed.
We haven't built our storage building yet so I am able to plan for the width I need (I wanted to make sure not only that steps will deploy but we could get the slides all the way out too so yes it will be really wide for the RV like 18'). If you already have your storage building and it won't accommodate the steps then I understand why you would not want them. But I just don't get the "dirt in the RV" thing sorry folks but that argument seems rather weak to me.
