Title: Rv slideout
Post by: Admin on November 09, 2008, 08:02:32 PM: Fabber have you givin any thought to adding a slideout to your toy hauler? I found this guy online here who built an entire 5th wheel with slides, sucker looks like assembly line built, I was half considering a slide out modification on a motor home...
