Besides the question of whether you like them or not, there is another issue for you to consider. The OCCC of the particular RV you are interested in *may* be an issue. Will you be traveling solo, a couple, or even taking others along with you? If additional people, there will be added weight, plus clothes & food (stuff) that needs to be considered. There are some Class C units with slides that are near their OCCC with little additional weight (people & stuff). So, if slides are important to you, make sure the RV has enough OCCC to safely carry everything and everybody you want. Longer Class Cs also tend to be heavier, thereby decreasing the amount of available OCCC. Good luck with your search.
