Wogburn. I have a 40' Alfa Seeya. The slide out is not the full length of the unit but it is the full length of the livingroom and dining/kitchen area, as well as one about 8' long in the bedroom (the clothes closet). We have had NO problems with the arrangement. I'd never have an rv without a slide, now that I've had em. This was the first company, I believe, to come out with the 42" deep and 6'6" high (estimate- I never measured it) slideout. Initially they had problems with the slideout motors not being strong enough.. but once that was upgraded, there havent been any problems for anyone that I am aware of.
With the slide out, the unit lacks being 12' wide by only a couple inches. If you are going to live in a unit, the height and width mean everything! I also like the units with 4 slides.. like the Tiffin Phaeton.
Goodluck. You have plenty of time to think this through thoroughly, research the various brands and floorplans as well as the company's customer support system.. which is one of the most important things to consider, in my opinion. Have fun! This is going to be an adventure!
