When we were shopping last year for a "gently" used unit we ruled out anything with a slide longer than 14 - 20 feet. We looked at a non Thor 38' MH that had a full slide probably over 30' long that held the large frig in it and other heavy items.

Yep, looking back at his posts it looks that he had a windstar w/ gears that stripped out.
"As anyone had major problems with a full side slide on a Thor wind star 34j? We have a 2017 and it stopped working. One motor is gone and teeth are ground down" .
I really like the Miramar 35.2 but that slide has the whole kitchen and washer dryer in it.
