permanent sites

We have been pulling our camping around for the past 7 years. We are considering doing a permanent site to take a year or two off. Any sugguestions? I am curious if people simply leave their slides out and I see half the people leave their awnings up or leaning down. Any help would be suggested. I also searched for this subject and found nothing....

We leave our slides out from spring to fall then put it back in. However the awning I forgot to place it on an angle and we got some heavy rain and there goes the main tube (bent) now I have to leave it against the PT (park trailer):R

.

At my seasonal site with 29ft TT
- Slide & Awning goes out in spring.
- Both remain out all summer.
- Slide and Awning goes back in at fall.

In wondering, my seasonal site TT uses a custom made Slide "hard cover" that is slopped - for rain run off. And, my TT's awning has both horizontal "middle" support post, vertical "middle" support post and also has awning material de-flappers as well. Been using this setup for last 7 summers and never had problems with slide leaks and/or too much wind across its front awning.

This works for my setup….

I see no reason to leave the slides or the awning out if I am going to be away
for extended time

Just my opinion but I would not leave the awning out at all when I left to go home and depending on how much stuff I'd have to move around I would probably leave the slides out. Only time mine out in at home is if I know were gonna get a lot of snow, which is hardly ever.
