Storing with slide out?
I don't get the logic behind the idea of storing with your slides outs. Seems to be 50/50 neer me in pa. Any thoughts on it
Forum Discussion
So here is a question for you all, and our campground is in northern WI.
What are thoughts on slides out, all winter long outside? My neighbors at our seasonal campground will be using their 5er all winter, weekend warriors. He is leaving the slides out.
We have another neighbor that put some "hard toppers" on his slides for winter. Wood framed with plastic corrugated sheets screwed to the wood. Angled so when snow melts it will run off instead of staying on slide. His is a park/destination model type.
For ours, I was planning on putting slides out when we arrive and putting slides in when we go home. I don't really want the snow weight on the slide roofs when Im not there. I am not worried about the total weight with the slides out, because when I sit on the couch, Im putting my 250lbs right on the slide. Just more worried about the slide roof.
The neighbor with the slides out and no toppers, said if it snows while you are at camper, then you have to clean slide roofs off very clean, or the snow, ice, water comes inside when you pull slide in.
I have 3 slides, my camper is a TT/destination type model.
What say you guys?
