Got tired of traveling in a pickup truck.

They must have improved quite a bit in recent years. Thor made a Class A FRED a few years ago with an overhead bed over the cab area that could only be lowered if the slide behind driver was extended first. In that same unit half the L-shaped kitchen was blocked from use by the slide, so you couldn’t get to sink or most storage cabinets. A quick lunch stop would likely require extending the slide. In fairness, it was a MH built by a newly-acquired subsidiary.

More recently they have many floorplans where the main bed is not useable unless its slide is opened first. For boondocking in places where slides should stay retracted that could be a problem.
