OK to tow TH with slides open?

Just finished the 4th of July parade in Hillsboro, Oregon. Lots of fun. Kids were on a farm trailer tossing candy. Idea struck me that I could brace the garage ramp of my 5th wheel TH as a platform and let several kids stand on it and toss candy. I see two issues and was wondering if anyone has tried this out before. 1) advice and experiences with bracing ramp. 2) driving with the slides extended. Top speed is a walking pace.

Anyone tried this before?

I would not do it, not worth injury to someone. Put them on the floor in the bed of the truck if you need to do such a thing.

We have parents walk behind the trailer to keep the kids in line so the risk is the same and minimal.

I have on occasion moved my rig with the slides out.. very slowly and no bumps.
