My observations are that slides on seasonal TTs are left in the out position all season long. I've seen some that are left that way all year long, while some are retracted. When stored on the side of my house, I typically leave the slide in the in position, unless I have a need to have it extended out, such as loading or maintenance. The slide when out extends partially into the area I need to walk around the side of the house, and makes it more succeptible to hit the slideout when hauling stuff like garbage cans out to the curb on trash day. Also, where the TT sits on the pad, it is ever so slightly tilted towards the non-slide side, so when it rains, the runoff on top of the slide would go towards the body of the TT and not away from it.
