Good luck on your search.
To add some long term experience about slides, when they add a lot to comfort and usually takes 5 seconds to open, the bad part is more gaps for leaks.
The floor under the slide needs to be inspected every season as most of manufacturer don't spend money on making it to last.
Earlier models do have poor engineering in the slide corners, who often come apart. That seems more a problem with Lance, than other brands, but I had to repair Fleetwood with aluminium skeleton as well.
The slide mechanism seem to last.
I took apart 19 yo mechanism and it looks in perfect shape, even we don't hesitate to use it 2-3 times a day when we travel and quite often I operate the slide while letting my wife sit on the dinette.
Thanks for all of the good advice, the search goes on.
