Looking for a Class A with one slide

We are looking to purchase a new-to-us Class A and have looked at several. While we like the added room you get with slide outs, it's frustrating that having the bedroom slide means you can't get around the bed while the slide is in. I don't think we care about extra room in the bedroom. Can anyone recommend a smaller Class A (30-34 feet) that DOESN'T have a bedroom slide, or would allow you to walk around the bed with the slide in? We're looking to spend around 40k.

  • Can't directly answer your question, but I can add to the previous poster. I went the opposite direction from you. First motorhome was a Rexhall with one slide. Queen bed in the back with the head of the bed toward the rear of the motorhome. It was liveable, but the space between the bed and the wall was very tight and hard to move around in and make the bed. Next motorhome had three slides with the bedroom slide as you described blocking access to the back closet and cabinet. It really hasn't been that much of a problem. It's a short slide so it opens really easy and when open gives so much more room in the bedroom to move around and make up the bed. Yeah, I've climbed over the bed a few times to get to the closet but to me the extra space when open was worth the blocked access.
  • How often would you need to access the bedroom without putting the slide out? While you're driving? Having lunch while traveling? Even if you boondock at WalMart you could just scoot over to the one slide for one night. I don't think I'd concentrate on finding a no-slide bedroom.

    However, here are some that you might consider or just to get an idea of what's out there. I didn't look through all of them but there at 29' 2015 Tribute (never heard of the make); a 29' 2014 A.C.E. and a 35' 2013 Hurricane for starters.
