Slides- how far to retract?

[DiskDoctr]

On our NTU 2005 Cougar 304BHS, when we retract the slides, they come in level with the floor, then tip up just a bit at the limit.

This lifts the floor of the slide a little.

Question: Should I stop when the top stops, or continue until the slide limit stops it?

It seems as though I should stop when the slide stops and just before it starts to lift the floor, but what about the seal? Will this seal the slide properly?

Thanks!

I recommend all-in or all-out. And should be able to be fully utilized in either position. Otherwise need to refer to the manual or manufacturer.

Gee, Ken, I don't avoid my sofa when the slide is in. Winnebago has never said to do so. HEY, I need to sit down! You spring chickens.....

So we shouldn't use the couch with the slide in? It is a floor level slide, not elevated.
