Slide topper/ freezing rain
RV set up at campsite w/slide out extended. Experiencing 31 degree temp and freezing rain. Icicles building on topper . Should slide out be retracted ?

In the week before Christmas last year an ice storm rolled through northern Oklahoma and southern Kansas just as the season was ending at Amazon for us work campers.
While my RV does not have slides, most of the 100 or so RVs at the campground I stayed in did have them and I don't think a single one pulled their slides in. If you've got a topper than that is catching the majority of the ice and it shouldn't be getting on the top of the slide itself where it would make retracting a challenge later. I would think excess weight would be the biggest concern, and unless it's a whole lot of freezing rain I doubt it'd get heavy enough to cause issues. Just my two cents.
Hope things warm up soon.
