I like 2 slides, because they are designed so that you can walk around the foot of the bed with the slideroom retracted. It's nice to have access to the rear bath area while underway.
My coach has the rear bath + half bath so the closets are in the rear bathroom. When we take a trip it is nice to be able to load/unload hanging clothes to & from the rear bath without having to extend a slideroom. On most 3 slide coaches, you have to climb over the bed to get to the rear bath closets. Keeping in mind that all Newells are different there may be exceptions to this statement.
With the low price of 1,2, & 3 slide coaches on the market today I can't see trying to add slides to a non slide frame. I would also guess that resale of the "coach with non factory slides" would be much less that one with factory slides.
With regard to "breaking camp" it takes my slides about 3 minutes each to retract or extend. I have a Zip Dee canvas awning that covers each slideroom so that twigs, leaves, etc. don't have to be swept off. I just turn the key, deflate the air seal, push the button to extend/retract then go out and latch the awning and I'm good to go!
Matt, tell Ronnie I swap with him - even trade!
