I agree on everything everybody has said. Opposing slides are not a problem. In fact, in todays market, slides are a must or there is no resale value to the coach. As far as slides go, we found that the larger slides accomodating both the couch and table and chairs is much better than the individual slides, as we had in our older Montana. There is more room to move the chairs. The 2005 Montanas in the 3475 model has an opposing slide to accomodate the desk and entertainment center. It also has a larger bedroom slide. That all said, We do have to watch where the electric and water hookups are so they do not hit the slides when they are moved out. The bottom line is you become aware of these little items when your backing into, or pulling into a spot. By allowing the extra room for the slides becomes second nature. The only advise on slides is to watch out for any models that has a slide under the awning. That cuts down the outside sitting area. So far, we have had no problems with parking our coach with three large slides.
