cant seem to find a clas C under 29ft reasonable

Yeah, the 26A is actually 26'6" long. I didn't sweat having a slide. I had one in my last TT and it worked flawlessly for 6 years. My Brother in Law has an Itasca Class A with a really long slide and has had no issue with it and it is a '99. Our Aspect is the burgundy and silver color. It is my understanding that the clearcoat issue only lasted through 2006. I hope you like it but if it isn't the one, keep looking, your's is out there.
