2011 Monaco Diplomat 43PD5

I am looking at purchasing a 2011 Monaco Diplomat 43PD5 with 5 slides.

Has anyone purchased this configuration which on the drivers side front has a slide within a slide giving it a 5 slide configuration.

A slide within a slide may sound good but finding a park that furnishes you with a site big enough to open it may be a different story. We are presently in a Thousand Trails park in Las Vegas and with 4 slides I am encroaching on my neighbors.

I've been looking at the same coach. I too was concerned about the additional room required for the 5th slide until I read a review explaining how the coach is fully functional and usable with the 5th slide still in (not extended). Looking at the floor plan like how the design allows that flexibility.

What I don't like is the shortage of seating in the L/R area. I'm sure there are options for seating, but haven't seen anything showing different from the floorplan on the Monaco web site.
