We had a Gulfstream BT Cruiser a true B+ and were very happy with it for 10 years. But it was getting to be time for an upgrade.
I like you have been wary of slides after all the years of listening to peeps horror stories on slide issues.
So we looked at C's and the Coachman Leprechaun 270QB to be precise as it had no slides. It's a shade under 30'. It is a lower priced unit with plastic sinks and a little cheaper cupboards but seemed well enough made. It would have fit the bill but after driving the B+ which basically felt like driving a Chevy express passenger van I couldn't get over the claustrophobic feeling I got driving with the bunk overhang. As much as we thought the rig would work for us the bunk over the windshield did me in. I probably would have gotten used to the feeling of driving in a tunnel but DW said if I wasn't comfortable get what I felt good about.
We ended up with an ACE 27.2 class A. I'm finally letting it sink in the the only time people post about slides is when they have a problem. Nobody spends time talking about the 1000's of times the slide operated without an issue. For the record I am quite pleased with the coach and that big wide open windshield. Good luck with your search! Mark
