I remember when we bought our no-slide 2004 28' Class C, people said "You'll never sell that because everyone wants slides". Ten years later, we sold it to the first person who saw it.
Now we have a 2023 Thor 22E no-slide "C" - and couldn't help but notice that there are still plenty of no-slide motorhomes being made. We just appreciate the simplicity; and less need to be parked perfectly-level. Yes, slides give glorious spaciousness - but since we tend to spend each night in a different place, it's less important
Interesting no slide Class C's are pretty rare here. Some Caravans do have them and Coach Conversions up to 45ft a lot do not have them but slides are becoming more common
As a result of their popularity with Class C's some Australian companies have their own patented systems.In this case a midsize Japanese commuter bus Class B type conversion with a patented slideout system .. strange
- Zero

- I'm in the no slides group. I RV in extreme cold. A slide would be a nightmare.
- I don't think there is an unbiased "optimum". The right number of slideouts is what each prefers for their situation.
For me, it is no slideouts. - Don’t know optimum, a lot depends on floor plan, storage given up for mechanicals, and weight loss. Slides provide for more livable space, and greater options for floor plans. In ours (a class A) we have a FWS, opposing kitchen and bedroom slides. Really opens up the place. Can’t imagine not having them.
