We looked for about a year for a used Class C - before we unexpectedly found and bought a new 2005 Class C in early 2006.
We searched so long because of our list of requirements ... which the new 2005 one we bought in 2006 by pure luck ... just happened to satisfy. Since then I've always guessed that probably the new one we bought had sat on a dealer's lot unsold for one year because it DID NOT have slides!
We did not want slides for improved off-road reliability and overall ruggedness. Years before we had traveled around in remote desert areas in our 3/4 ton Dodge van home-built camper ... and in 2006 bought a Class C that could do the same.
