I think we got a great deal on ours this year. We bought 05' motorhome with 3 slides, 38', 32000 miles for $32,000 and bought our towed '05 liberty with 49,000 miles for $9,000 but we did a lot of shopping and love it!

The only time you really really NEED slides on a unit is when you try to sell it. Advertise all you want, the phone will not ring.
Unless you are absolutely sure (how can you be?) that this is going to be your last unit. Get a slide even if you are against them for moral reasons or something.
The motorhome I have now does not have a slide. The one I sold before it, did not have a slide. I sold my airstream to a customer on the lot who came to me and asked to buy it. You are overstating your case. If you were to say that a nonslide would lessen your chance of selling, I would agree with you. Our lots sell nonslide motorhomes every day.

My wife and I have a Class A with 2 slides and they just add so much more room but if you are just getting your first coach I would start out with what I could afford. At some point down the road you can always up grade.
