In or Out

*I meant to post this as a separate thread instead of in another post, opps*

Since our trailer is on a permanent spot and not likely to be moved, I was wondering if I should leave the slides in or out when I leave for the week.

We return every weekend so we have been leaving the slides out. Touring our campground I've notice trailers that have been sitting for years and their slide outs are jacked up blocks and/or look like they are falling out of the trailer. I've been told never to jack them up on blocks as it changes the way the seal bonds with the trailer, something about the weight of the slide helps to keep the seal closed when it is out.

I think it would be good to bring it in and out every so often to ensure it functions and keep it lubricated but other than that I think it can stay out.

Thoughts?
