The mirrors stick out beyond the house but as pnichols says they can be folded in quickly and are then tucked in close to the van portion when road obstacles get you nervous. Some PC owners order short-arm mirrors so they won't stick out as far, but I appreciate them longer to see more behind the rig.
By the way, our widebody Class C RV provides a roomy enough feeling inside so that we do not miss or need slides - which we didn't want due to the structural strength and leak integrity that you compromise with slides.
We slip into regular parking spots all the time when not towing. When parked we get into the habit of folding in the mirrors for others to walk between parked vehicles and I fear that a child will hang on them.
As pnichols mentioned about interior comfort, a little wider is always going to be a little more comfortable. Fortunately my wife and I are not wide people so we manage well with the 93" RV body. But still, our bath and bed could surely benefit from a few extra inches. You can see our rig interior (& exterior) by CLICKING HERE.
Like pnichols, we intentionally did not get the slide out option for our rig.....and we love it this way for the ~10 gains compared to the one loss. But it is just us two and no pets. I suppose if we had a house full of pitter-patter of sorts, a slide out would be of greater value to us.
