Seems roomy for 34'

And it's 36'1", "34" is a bit misleading.

No, it doesn't. A mobile home is very different. A mobile home is more like a trailer than a "Motor Home." The (M) actually stands for Motor.

OK but you get the point of what I am saying even though you feel the need to correct it.

Motor/mobile either or its all about being able to MOVE.

This discussion is a clear example of why you buy to fit your desire. If you want simplicity then no slides. You will sacrifice living space but you can camp nearly anywhere. We began with that in mind and had a great time when kids were young. We used tents and motels when we wanted more space. We traveled comfortably and didn't need a toad. Many different coaches later we have found our needs changed. Today we think a washer/dryer is a necessity. Some folks love to travel everyday and others park for months. We are in between. Last winter we traveled from one ocean to another and back. Gone for 120 days. But with all the traveling only spent 17 days actually moving down the road so parking comfort is important to us. Good luck.

If safety is your top concern get a Class B if interior space is important get a class A with 2 opposing full wall slides. Every thing you buy has trade offs. The last time I rolled over a vehicle was in my 54 Ford convertible in 1965. I am much older now and drive more carefully than when I was a teenager. So a roll over in my class A is not my top concern. MH's, aircraft,any vehicle for than matter lose strength in the outer structure for every door, window, slide out opening, or other cut out in that structure. A good design team knows this and adds supporting structure to compensate for the openings. The down side is that the reinforcements add a lot more weight.

Any good examples of 2 opposing full wall slides?

Might I suggest you look at the Forest River 2801 QSF. It is 4 slides and I can say (since I own one) it is the roomiest 28 (actually 30') I have ever been on and I have owned from 24 Cs to 43' class As for many years.

I was planning on buying another layout and when my wife tried the reclining theater seats and the large pantry and wardrobe, it was all over for me. Oh, I forgot to mention the shower with plenty of room for my wife and I at the same time (save water, shower with a friend LOL)

We purposely ordered our motorhome with only two slides and full-timed in it very comfortably for eight years. We enjoy public parks and stayed in them 90% of our time, along with boondocking on forest or BLM lands. Many of these places have trees and we didn't want to have to deal with placement of the motorhome within the staggered trees in order to be able to open the slides. We also wanted a big patio space. Both our slides were on the driver's side; one in the bedroom and another in the living room.

Opposing slides only gives you floor space and truthfully, is it really needed - unless you want to practice ballroom dancing!

Also, slides take up storage space in the basement and can be difficult getting under the slides to open bay days and find what you want - especially if you have a bad back. :) As full-timers, we wanted that space and wanted it easily accessible.
