Slide out supports
i have a toy hauler with three slide outs. I plan to park it for the summer and will leave the slide outs extended. Should I put some kind of supports under the slide outs? If so, what do you sugge...

Does it really matter with the new 6-point leveling systems if a tires goes flat while stationary?
There are six jacks extended straight down supporting a level fiver. If all four tires were to go flat would the fiver somehow sink lower?
I have 3 larger slides and never really thought I needed slide supports outside, no matter how long I was camped in one place.
Not every 5er out there has the 6 jack system on their unit...I only have 4 jacks and my 5er has never needed supports for the slides either.....I think the concern is more for the slide going out 3 or 4' and just "hanging for want of a better word...I look at my set up and it's quite robust, like you, I see no need for slide supports, 5er is almost 9 yrs. old and never had an issue with slides needing support.
If all 4 tires were to go low or flat, don't see an issue if no supports under the slides.. If all 4 tires went flat, seeing as how the majority of the 5er's weight is setting on those 2 axles/4 tires and one had supports underneath the slides, I could see the fixed support, pushing upward on the slide.....like what I saw at the campground the one time I actually saw this scenario.
