slide in or out over winter ??
Hey all, My tt sits under roof, and this will be my first tt with a slide(18" slide depth), will it hurt anything to keep the slide out all winter, if i choose too ? Thanks

Leave it in or out, never partial. The side gaskets only seal when it is either fully retracted or fully extended. Nothing wrong with leaving it out, I will do that if I am working in the TT in the off season. Bear in mind the roof on the slide is usually thinner than the main roof and susceptible to snow load. If you leave it extended pay attention to the weather and if you get deep accumulated snow clean it off as soon as you can. Also if the slide is out and you have ice formation, do not attempt to retract the slide...the ice can tear the seals.
Other than that there is no reason you cannot leave it extended. That said, if you are just storing the camper and don't plan on either living in it or working on it, best practice is to leave the slide retracted.
