Anytime you make something so unique the only way you'll ever break even (just parts, not labor) on the deal is if you find that one special person. As much as we may appreciate what he accomplished, not many of us would pay a lot for a non slide, non saleable to the masses, old frame/technology, tall rig like that. I'm guessing he'll get pennies on the dollar when he goes to get rid of it.
I would think that having the area of two floors would compensate for no slide.

For me that's not a true statement at all. If you've ever spent more then a week in a rig 100 inches for a width is tough sledding. Now take that 100 inches add 2 opposing slides of 2 feet to push you out to 148 inches and now you got something you can call home.
So the square feet may be the same, but the quality of life will not be. This is based on me and DW living in an RV(s) for 6 months a year for the last nine years though, YMMV.
I have spend nearly 18 years in a 102 inch wide non-slide RV without ANY issues or even a desire for more carpet to vaccumn. I have called it home (my only home) since the day we bought it and I have a completely awesome quality of life. MMDV (My Mileage Does vary.....compared to yours).
Additionally, the SF is not the same comparing a single story 40 foot coach to a 2 story 40 foot coach. I also agree that it's not my cup of tea, but making random comparisons is likely unfair.
