Last two rigs I've owned have had slide outs on both sides. Never has been a problem in terms of fitting in campsites, although you do have to keep in mind where your slides are when backing (or pulling) in, and where various things are on your site (like trees) that could get in the way.
Only concern I'd have with opposing slides would be 2 things:
1. Try and find out how tight it is inside the trailer when all slide on both sides are in. Can you still walk through it? Would that be a problem for you if could not? I guess with a towed RV that may not be an issue as much as it would be with a motorized, but is still something to consider.
2. For slideouts on the curb side (and this is a big one for me), how much will the slideouts cut in on your 'camping' space under the awning? For me personally, I don't want any RV where the slideout on the curb side cuts into your space under the awning. We tend to spend a lot of time outside when camping, and I like having as much shaded under awning space as I can get. I don't want a slideout cutting into that space, but thats just me.
