Beautiful coach.
Why would a 2007 model only have three slides?

Since every Newell is custom built to the owners specifications, it's what the owner wanted.
My personal preference (even though I'll never be able to afford a new one) is 2 slides. I like the roominess when the slides are retracted. It makes it much easier when traveling. When we were stopping for just a night we would seldom put out the slides since everything was accessible.
Each slide adds quite a bit of weight to a very heavy coach, it takes up patio space, and adds another layer of complexity.
But it all depends on your travel style, there are no wrong answers.

Looks nice, but I wonder what caused the buckle in the 1/2 bath wallpaper. Is it an old water leak?

Slides are $40k each. I guess its easy to go 3 slides to use that $40k elsewhere, like reserve for future maintenence.

Myself? I'm a full timer, so I would like the additional drawer space at the foot of the bed for the spousal unit..... Just sayin'.....

On your comment about the buckle, and this is based on my coach and I have redone the entire wallpaper in the coach. Underneath the wall paper is wall paper liner. The wall paper liner is adhered to plywood. Where plywood seams joined, Newell filled the seam with some sort of compound and sanded it smooth. If the coach structure shifts slightly, and imagine they all do over time. The seam between the sheets of plywood will close or open depending on the shift. The wall paper liner is stiff and doesn't stretch or contract with the shift.

Water intrusion usually causes the wall paper to release from the wall. Look at the bottoms of walls under windows, and in corners to detect this.

This is my opinion. That buckle did not say water to me.

Richard,

You are 100% correct!! No water damage at all.
We just went thru this very issue. I disassembled everything, wife removed all the wall paper we found the exact same thing. We replace the wall paper with a heavy duty vinyl wall paper this time.
