Talking about Wanderlodge's really is out of my realm as I really haven't followed them. They are very 'bus-like'. A couple of guys in my RV club have one (no slides). And, I'm not sure if they made them with slides or not. Maybe someone here knows more about them.
Good luck,

Slides were available in 1999 and later in Wanderlodges.
ALL Wanderlodge's were equipped with slides starting in 2002.
I have a 2001 LX and it doesn't have any slides. That was my preference, though. Its just the wife and I and moving from a 31 foot 1990 Winnebago to a 2001 Wanderlodge LX was plenty of size for us. Our trips are generally not long enough for slides to be a big deal at this point in our lives. Someday when we take month(s)-long trips, then we'll likely want to move to something with a slide.
The 2006 M450's are very nice coaches. There was only one issue with those coaches - weight. They came from the factory with weight issues on the front axle. But, there were recalls and things done to many of them (but not all). If you go with a 2006, I'd just make sure it gets weighed on all axles and that you aren't overweight.
There were precious few Wanderlodge's after 2006. That was really the last year of many hitting the road. There are a few 2007 (which are really 2006's that carried over) and I think there were 2-3 2008 coaches and 1 2009 (maybe a second??). The 1998-2005 coaches are all very nice as well, though. You wouldn't believe that my 2001 is 13 years old.
