What size would your recommend as a min for water, grey water and black water tanks?
Are electric jacks worth the extra money?
Should I be worried if there isn't a manual option for the slides? I have heard it is a good idea to have a manual as well as electronic way to close the slides.
The trailer we are leaning towards is from Bucars, a Sporttrek by Venture RV. Anyone familiar with this brand?
Thanks again for the help.

My trailer has 36 gallon fresh (30 for water and 6 for the hot water) and it's fine for the wife and I for a long weekend (conserving water during our 1 or 2 showers each). 30 gallon each for grey and black. For a family of 4 I would imagine you could do fine with a 40 gallon fresh water. Never have filled the black or grey water in one weekend.
I do fine with my manual jacks, it all depends on how lazy you are. If you get some wood blocks for under the jacks you don't have to crank them as far.
I was under the impression that all power slides and awnings had to have a manual option in the event there is an issue with the motors.
Never heard of those RV's so I can't comment.
