Gee, don't slides and hay pods add to weight and drag and expense????? In most cases a slide will add 100 lbs more or less and $3,000.00 to $10,000 depending on manufacturer. Hay pods add a few hundred lbs. and lots of drag.
Did you mean 1000 lbs?
No... when you look at a six foot slide out. It will add 2 aluminum side walls an aluminum roof and floor and an electric motor, hardwear and a track. You would also have to add a couple of extra frame pieces. Everything else is there in the trailer any way(couch, outer wall and water tank). I have put a slide in a trailer by myself. I think 100 maybe 150lbs added is about right.
