Slide outs

Tomorrow I am going to replace my landing gear legs. I am setup at a campsite as we are fulltimers. Want to know if it is safe to hookup truck to fifth wheel with the slides out. I don't want to cause any problems with the slides. Thanks for any info, Dave

  • YES......

    I too have moved our 5rv with all 3 slides extended.
    Dealers move trailers around lot with slides open all the time


    BUT you are going to be removing/replacing landing gear so with 5vr hooked up to truck I would also support both sides of 5vr frame with jacks to stabilize 5vr while working on landing gear
  • fine. I've even driven with them out for VERY short distances.
