with the trailer anly being 6'wide it ias a little cramped when you have the bed sideways like we do so im adding the slide out to give us room for our feet so they are not tight against the wall

The Deepest spot in Lake Superior, the largest of the Great Lakes is 1,333 feet or about 222 fathoms. This profound depth could easily contain the entire 1,250' Empire State Building, even with a 50-foot-tall King Kong perched atop.
