Congratulation on the purchase of your first fifthwheel. I hope your experience is as good as our first used fifthwheel purchase was.
I do not leave my slides open unnecessarily as it simply increases the exposure and deterioration of the slide out seals due to the exposure to the elements faster than needed. I'm sure it's minimal but I just don't do it.
I also see no use to the slideout support's for the same reason northmeck0255 noted.
However some people sensitive to the slight movements of the fifthwheel when people or large pets move heavily inside the trailer use kingpin tripods to decrease the amount a fifthwheel moves when someone inside moves by putting pressure up front under the kingpin to the ground.
I never felt the need for one but to it his own.
