Wonder why it seems most C's with slides are on the drivers/street side?
1) The main entry door is behind the passenger seat by a small amount so the slide out would be shifted rearward, working with only a few long models.
2) The passenger side with the main entry door, is the side that people hang out under the main awning. A slide out under the awning crowds the covered area.
The driver side is the better wall for slide outs to keep the campsite and covered awning area most spacious.
Everyone has their own priorities when it comes to wanting a slide out. My wife and I jointly agreed the extra floor space & resale value did not outweigh the extra cost, sacrifices to wall space, and other consequences, so we special ordered our rig eight years ago without the slide out. We have no regrets to this day, but it has always been just the two of us. We'd likely consider a slide out in a much larger rig if we still had our kids traveling with us. We purchased our rig after the kids grew up, doing life on their own.
