I had two with no slide. It was nice when stopping overnight for a quick rest. My last two have slides. They have much more storage than the slide less and you can have more room on the sides to accommodate a king bed. With the end to end bed you are stuck with the 8.5 width. Mine 2015 35G Winnebago Sightseer has the power bed which I like for a variety of reasons and includes a lot of space when in upright. It is also nice for reading or watching TV. We use it when parked and not able to use levelers and that helps. We did have times with the end to end where we reversed the sleeping with head at foot. Never had the slide out closet. The Forza has it and it is a really neat bedroom.
