I checked the website for specs but it only had the 28' coach, and the one I may be looking at is supposed to be a 30' . Anyone want to save me a trip? :-) I like the idea of the extra room if I am at a campsite with electricity, but I worry I will be stuck trying to hand-crank it in during a windstorm sometime. But I worry too much.

I have a 30 sl, it has been trouble free. The slide is 12 volt / battery operated and has never been a problem. I really enjoy the extra room it provides. I will say it has a 1100# or better tongue weight and I pull with a Hensely Arrow hitch. My only dislike is the smaller closet on 30 sl. I was told their is a way to remove the cover under the trailer and manualy slide it in but I am am not sure.I am active in an Airstream Club and meet many slide owners and have never heard a complaint. Good luck
