He also said that was not a brand specific caution, but that all slides should not be used when retracted.

You still haven't provided a single link to any documentation supporting your argument so are we to just accept your argument as "fact" simply because YOU say so? :RHuntindog wrote:
It would take more effort to look it up to satisfy you.. And you are not worth the effort.Now you have a 48 page manual handy.. Where in that manual does it state that it's OK? If it does, YOU should post it for all to see.
You just stating it... In your own words.... Doesn't make it so.
I'm not the one making the outrageous claim that manufacturers don't mention in their owners' manuals to not use their slides in the retracted position because they want to avoid paying out warranty claims for failed slide issues ... how silly. :R In cases where it's not mentioned, as is the case with my own Coachmen trailer, it's not mentioned because it's just not an issue. :B As for me being "not worth it" then why continue to argue ad nauseam when all you're doing is making your position even sillier. :W
It most likely does not say to sit in the slide when is retracted.
What a manual says is important. What it does not say is also important.
As I have said repeatadly, I am unaware of any manufacturer that states it is OK... If you have proof that your manufacturer says it's OK, I would like to see it. Seriously.... There may be some out there that do. But it is a really safe bet that most do not
Why don’t you guys go to PM to keep your silly argument going?
