And really appreciate the tips/tricks to help us do just this, while not completely destroying our RV in the process

On that note - how about wet slides... Do you attempt to dry them prior to pulling into the rig? Try to dry them once pulled into the rig? Leave 'em be? Saw online somewhere that someone uses a squeegee prior to pulling in; thought that might be a good idea...
If it is pouring, and you can't wait, there's not much you can do but pull them in. If I have to do that DW is inside to dry them down as much as possible. We carry extension poles, Swiffer handles etc. She/we wipe down the edges where we can reach then wrap a towel around the attachment on the end of the pole and swab down the middle of the slides as best we can (using a stool). We just don't want a lake inside from the water draining. The seals do a really good job of wiping off the majority of the water, actually to a point that rubbing them down inside is sometimes a little overboard.

If it has stopped raining a squeegee would work just fine I would think.
