Slide outs vs No slide outs models
As I am looking around, I toured a few used Class C that have slide outs. 30+ft class C's I have seen could have up to 3. My question is - are these a real hassle the maintain, fix and keep going? ...

When it comes to slide outs, they work great until they get old. How old? The earliest ones were big trouble, but they have come a long way over the years. Still, I think most advocates of slide outs are people who sell their rigs before any trouble begins.
If buying a used rig, I would value input from slide out owners of rigs between 15 and 25 years old. If you are buying a rig with a slide out that is a model year 2000 and plan to keep it 10 years, then you will be one of those people.
This is true. We are one of those that will not keep a rig a real long time. And we are also one of those that usually won't buy used. And if we did, it would only a couple years old at the most. The only exception was the pop up we bought a couple years ago. But it was a second camper for us. We still had the TT we bought new. The pop up also didn't have hardly extra components on it. Just the basic fridge, stovetop and sink. No features that we really needed for the type of camping we would be doing with it anyway.
