Would you buy an RV with slide outs again?
I am looking to buy a HR 32' class A RV from year 1997-1999. Some have slideouts and some do not. I am leery of their reliability and possibility of leakage. The whole concept of slideouts that re...

Wow, 3 pages worth! Well, we, two, are one of the minority, the no slide folks. It's not that we're against them...
Ours is a 36' unit, and were we to buy again we'd probably buy a 34' one with a single slide.
But, you'll find no-slide MHs at a great discount, and what we've done with ours may be instructive. When we bought it, it had a pair of jack-knife couches in the living area that had a very narrow walkway between them. We ended up taking them out and replacing them with a pair of euro-recliners. Also installed wall-attached, swing-up tables just behind the captains chairs, which gives each of us a desk/table when we need it, or if a captains chair is swung around we can play cards, etc.
The big gain was an increase in open space in the front of the coach.
The main thing, though, is to know that whether or not you buy a MH with or without slideouts is not the life-altering event: it's buying a MH of any kind!
Good luck, have fun,
