I WILL NOT be without slide outs. My present coach has 3 of them that slide both directions. They are very convenient. I just have to figure out the best way to load them properly, but then again we are just getting started. Don't take them out. Build the cabinets so they fit in the slides and still work nicely. You could even have full height cabinets outside the frames with lower cabinets behind for those less often used items, and have a way to swing the full height cabinets out of the way to get at the smaller rear cabinets.
