25’ Class C. Ford vs Chevy opinion

Any guesses when the new 7.3 will be available in the small class C models?
I’m thinking there is probably a pretty good inventory of V10 chassis left so at least 1-2 years.
I’m sure prices will go up as I believe the 7.3 is around a $1700 option for the pickups.
I thought about the resale value for a non slide but someone must be buying them.
For this particular model the extra 12-18” of floor space isn’t worth the negatives.
IE: mechanical issues with the slides, motor etc, noise, weight, air/water leak possibilities, slide topper canvas damage, less structural integrity with a large hole in the side, more closed up feeling with the slide in, etc. wow. More negatives than I thought. Lol.
if I were to setup at a campground and stay for several weeks the slide may be worth it but for the simplicity of traveling I think simple is better and less is more.

We bought our non-slide model for all of the reasons you stated above. Have not regretted our decision for even one day, and get along just fine and dandy without the slide.
To the person saying they are "unsellable" used......I have a friend who constantly asks if/when we will sell ours to him. He knows I would ask top dollar. Just like anything else, if you take care of it and keep it in good condition, there is always a buyer willing to pay for something nice.
