Most of the seasonal sites at our seasonal campground have trailers/5ers left there all year round. The campground is closed 7 months of the year. Most of them leave the slides out all year round. A lot of them have covered the slide seals with Eternabond or something similar.
If we aren't camping, our slides come in. If/when we get a Destination Trailer for our seasonal site, the slides will definitely come in when we leave at the end of the season. We usually camp 4 months of the 5 month season, so 8 months unintended is a long time for water to leak in and do some serious damage. It's not worth taking the risk, to save 30 seconds pushing a button to bring the slide in.
As for leveling, we always level first, then put the slides out. The manual for our slides specifically mentions NOT using supports under the slide out.
