THOR #1469
Qualifier: Up until this year

Normally I would leave the slides out and jacks down unless there was a forecast for nasty weather coming in. Even during times of storage we were going into the motorhome two to three times per week to do this or do that and running the slide that often presented undue wear and tear on components.

This year, since we are spending time in SC and not as much in and out of the motorhome I have the slides in and jacks up.

Never had an issue either way.

A world of caution, if the slides are out and you get freezing rain or a heavy snowfall be careful when the slides are retracted. the Additional weight cause the motor to strain when retracting and chunks of ice falling off slide toppers can causes scratches on paint or lumps on heads if not worse.
