 I would imagine that would depend on the manufacturer. My Jayco Designer 35'
triple slide 5th allows access to the kitchen, dining areas with the slides in,
and we can comfortable sleep in the bedroom with the slide in too. Just can't
get to the front closet very well.

Yes.  One thing to think about is that if there are drawers at the foot of the
bed, you might not be able to open them without deploying the slide.  We keep
an extra pair of undies in an accessable cabinet for just such occassions.

What you should *really* concern yourself with are the other two slides.  Many
fifth wheels with opposing slides in the living area have blocked access to a
good portion of the rig when the slides are closed.  Have the salesperson close
all the slides before you make a decision to purchase.  Check to see what
cabinets, appliances, etc. are blocked.  Check to see if there is enough room
for you to pass through an area.  Don't rely on the sales droid and don't rely
on imagination.  Close the slides before you purchase!!

This is the main reason our fiver has only two slides-bedroom and sofa/dining
table.  When our slides are closed, I have access to everything in the rig
except   for most the  livingroom entertainment center.  We do have access to
the 12V powered radio/cassette/CD player.  We have a TV in the bedroom that is
on satellite and a Kingdome.  Our side-aisle bath floorplan gives us the extra
wall for the computer desk and entertainment center that usually go into a 3rd
slide.

Depends on the floorplan. On ours you could sleep on it but you would have to
cross the bed to get to the closets and you can't get to the dresser drawers.
The bedroom slideouts on a fifth wheel usually don't slide out very far and are
up high enough to clear cars and posts and other obstructions.

Put the slide out, go to bed and bring the slide back in when you get up.
