Exactly how important is a slide?
I said I'd never get a camper without a slide, but we've found a hybrid that looks really roomy and doesn't have a slide. It's a 2007 Roo 233. The price is right and it appears to be in good condition...

i have a new Shamrock 233 (same model as the Rockwood you are looking at), and ours has the slide (not sure when they added the slide). We camp with me, wife, 3 little boys, sometimes the dog. We spend some time inside when the kids need to rest or get out of the sun, or when it's raining. We like the slide, it works for us...
you have a 233S, not a 233. the 233S is a 233 with a sofa slide.
the 233 has been around for almost 10 years, while the 233S has only been around for about 2-3 years. but it's the hottest selling hybrid right now.
as far as needing a slideout, our slideout is 12' long on a 24' HTT, which really makes a difference.
we love our slideout and with a slide topper, issues of debris on top aren't a concern and our slideout has been trouble-free.
we would never consider any RV without one now that we've had ours.
I agree with the above. We're on our second HTT both with 12' slide out, and never had any problems. We're only my wife and I and still wouldn't go without the slide out.
I didn't read many complaints (if any) on this forum regarding problems with them.
However the decision is yours, and you will have to live with it.
