Motorhome is a dinosaur

Wow! How long is this Bounder motorhome? My guess is 38 feet, but it looks longer. Could it be 40 feet? I spotted it in a Sacramento RV park while talking my evening walk. The motorhome has no slideouts. Who would want such a motorhome anymore? You wonder why it took so long for RV manufacturers to make slideouts -- so RVs could be wider at the push of a button rather than just longer and longer and longer. Can it be that hard to make a slideout?

Did anybody even think about making a slideout 20 years ago? If not, why not? Nowadays, RV makers don't keep making RVs longer and longer, they just keep adding slideouts. Five slideouts is no big deal. I bet you will see six before long. This Bounder motorhome with no slideouts is a dinosaur. My guess is that a super long motorhome like this with no slideouts worth a pittance. What do you think?

There is a VERY good think abound no slides!! If you don't need the room (like we don't) a motorhome without slides enjoys: No leaks from slides,no seals to fix,ALOT lower weight,no broken motors or leaky hydraulics or wiring snafus....

More in not always better!
