Most slides in a 23 - 25’ Class C add very little usable space and a lot of weight. Look for floor plan you can live with keeping in mind you do not “Have” to have a slide. Our Nexus 23P (24.5’ overall) is 101” wide with a full 7’ of headroom throughout the coach. Never needed or wanted a slide, did not give up hundreds of pounds of payload and have never had a “slide” problem.
Remember there are only two kinds of slide owners...
Those that have had a problem and those that will.
As always... Opinions and YMMV.
