To me that makes the best sense.A friend of mine has a 40Ft gulfstream and he was jack,s down slides out.He complained to me one time about slide,s giving him trouble.I said go slides out then jacks down.He now does it that way all the time as problem solved
Heres how I look at it.when level and not staying long etc you may not want to put your jacks down.Your motorhome is designed to allow slides out without jacks deployed.Second way I look at it is the frames on these units flex/twist pretty bad when deploying jacks and to me can and WILL cause slides to bind.So iam a firm beleiver in slides out then jacks down
