Older Breckenridge Park Trailer

A friend of mine has a 1998 Breckenridge park trailer. it has 2 I believe they are slide outs, or are they tip outs?
My question is we are planning on moving this camper about 200 yards to a different site. Would it be OK to move this slowly with the slides out?

Thank you,

Kevin

    Sure, I move with the slides out, slowly. If they slide out, they're slideouts. If they tip out, they're tipouts.

    Is there a way to tell if the slide or tip by looking at them?
    I didn't think it would be a problem moving it with them out.

    Probably would be fine, but in the event something happens and the slides are damaged, frame bends, etc.; then what? Is the risk worth the savings? I would err on the side of safe rather than sorry.

    The only problem is they are sealed up pretty good. plus not sure how they would go in. probably push in, but not sure. That's why I was thinking of leaving them out and drive very slow. it's just in a campground, so not going down the road at all.

    Thanks

    I believe I’ve seen the rv dealers move campers around with the slides out before, but they are not 20 years old. I’ve never thought that was a great idea but slowly moving a few sites away should not hurt anything.

    Just wanted to post an update.
    We moved the trailer this past weekend with the slides out, and did not have any problems at all.
    Thanks for the advice
