Newbie question about slide outs.

[Paul pg]

Sorry if this sounds stupid but is it safe to put the slide out without the stabilizer legs down on the corners of your RV. Specifically the hideout 28bhs?

I just have visions of it tipping over!

Regards.

Pg -
Fear not! Your RV will stay upright if you put the slide out without having the stabilizer legs down - regardless of what model it is.

Remember --- there are no "stupid questions".

Haha,

I just have to reassure the wife!

Many thanks.

When parked in the yard we never put the jacks down but generally have the slide open, never a problem.

Also remember on your slides that your trailer needs to be pretty level. The other day I pulled mine in and thought the ground looked pretty level so didn't get the level out or do anything to level it up. Extended the slides and went to bed. Tried to pull the slides in the next day and the two big ones gave me heck trying to get them in. Had to retract a bit, extend to straighten it, then retract again until it was in. Checked level and I was much more unlevel than I thought. Put blocks under it and...problem solved. Just something to think about as you start using the slides. First time it happened to me and first time I was too lazy to check level

Good to know thanks.
