Full wall glide-outs obviously present very attractive benefits. However, they also present some significant structural issues. Those that have been introduced so far appear to be very limited in depth, with none we have seen being built with the 24" and 30" depths used by Newell. Even when limited in depth, we hear a lot on anecdotal stuff that full wall slides have been quite "problematical" in actual use.

The true inside dope: We have discussed full wall slide outs with Valid, talked about the advantages and the challenges, and have not as of yet decided we are ready to press forward with development. Not ready for prime time and it is not on the near-term horizon.
