Using the slides while retracted

You answered your own question.

Ok, i believe the bottom is elevated when in by an inch or 2

Does your slide tilt up when retracted vs laying completely flat on floor?

Tilts up....no support under slide floor so NO don't step on it, walk on it, get inside slide etc when retracted.
Floor and consequently the whole slide is not supported unless extended.Then it becomes a fully supported unit

If slide moves in/out flat on top of trailer floor then it is self supporting when in or out like a bedroom slide with bed
