Do all slide equipped rigs have leveling jacks? I never thought about that. We often park and remain very unlevel, and I wonder if we could do so if we had a slide.
Burlmart - No, very few slide equipped rigs, in the small Class C size, have leveling jacks. Our unit has a slide and we noticed the same thing as Tony - keep the slide side slightly down from level. When extending the slide, you push out a roof that catches rain. Unless you have a sturdy awning over the slide, the rain water would run up against the body of the motorhome. The seal would have to be in perfect shape to keep 100% of the water out. Only happened to us once; we were fortunate. When you have a slide on each side, leveling from left to right becomes more critical in case of rain.
Our slide only moves out about 18-24" so the mechanism is not strained very much when out of level. That small amount does make quite a bit of difference in the interior width.
