The Lug_Nut report. Through the years we have seen motor home and trailer slides multiply. First there was one, then two, and soon after three and four. In the last couple of years the full wall slide has made an appearance. Is that it? Are we done with slide out innovations? It would appear not.
The Monaco Dynasty, for one, is now offering a five slide. Now, more than four slides, two each side, five does not sound very appealing. After all, what can an additional slide offer that can not be accomplished with a good four slide floor plan? Well, apparently, lots.
Monaco’s fifth slide is actually a slide within a slide, or telescopic. The design is capable of expanding the salon area by as much as five or six feet. This is a very dramatic difference from the normal two or three feet offered by there competitors. It also opens up the possibility for some all new floor plans. The floor plan shown in the photos is the Majestic V.
Why is this such a great design? After all, anyone could just add a 5 or 6 foot slide and have the same effect. Wrong. The beauty of this design can be quickly seen when the slides are in the retract travel position. The interior is still livable. You can get to the bathroom and move about just as you could in a conventional 4 slide. Any single slide much deeper than 36” would render the interior nearly unusable in the travel mode.
So, hats off to Monaco on this one. Their innovative designing may have made what was considered great even greater.
