Don't let the "you gotta have a slide out(s) nonsense" get to you. Far more important {as previously noted}, is finding a floorpan that works for you and your family and that may or may not include slideout(s). A quality, well maintained coach is what you are seeking.
Slide outs, particularly in the age coach you are considering, add weight taking away payload you can ill afford to lose. More than one slide out in a class C is absurd given the weight you will inherit.
Slide outs also tend to be problematic... try finding a page or two in this Forum where someone is not having slide out issues and the older the coach the greater the likelihood of problems. They do add some useable space but be leery of galley slides that hold major appliances.
As always.... Opinions and YMMV {Your Mileage May Vary}
