Rear slide out

Is it safe to drive with your Rear slide out out that only goes out the back

I would say no. I don't know of any slide system that can handle the over the road loads when the slide is extended, especially coaches with the Schwintek In-Wall slide system.

Short answer No.

Are you wanting to be the star of a meme with slide laying in the street?

NO...NO...and, NO. The forces up.and down with bumps and dips in the road would break it off like a fully loaded and extended drawer.

Depends on what you have in mind. If you’re just wanting to reposition the coach on the site or even move it across the street to a new site it probably would be fine. But if you’re wanting to make tracks somewhere definitely no.

No! Never drive with the rear slide out.

I have a rear slide. They are great. I sometime overnight in a Walmart & I just slide out the rear. Goes right over the dingy. Safe to say I would hear anyone trying to unhook the dingy at night.

Yes... as long as you are willing to push both make it worse buttons. Trust me, you will be successful in mucking something up.
