Picking up new (to Me) Camper next Saturday
After much going back and forth (TT or 5th, Bunks or not)and looking, picked out a 2012 Keystone sprinter 266rbs lastweek and will pick up next weekend. I'm really looking forward to the outside kit...

Storing with slides in or slides out doesn't make any difference as far as the trailer itself goes. But if you are not using it, it only makes sense to leave the slides in. It helps protect the roof of the slides, less surface space exposed to the elements, less foot print space it will take, probably a bit safer, and in the event of really threatening weather, less surface space for wind, snow, ice to blow against it. Also, if you put a cover over it, slides will need to be in.
When not in use, our slides are in.
However, if you are using the camper, driveway camping, or on a season site, or inside the camper every day for some reason or another, then it only makes sense to leave the slides out for convenience.
If you are parking and storing for any length of time, you probably want the slides in. Slides depend upon the battery to function correct. If the slides are out, longer term sitting and battery goes down, then you decide to move the camper, you'll need to figure out how to charge that battery first. With slides in, you can just hitch and go!
It's really just a mater of your own convenience. There really is not right or wrong, bad or good when answering your question. It all boils down to your own convenience for your own answer.
In or out, won't hurt the camper. They are made to be in both positions.
