Slides in because of wind...I am talking wind not a strong breeze.If the wind is blowing hard enough to shake the RV you got a pretty good wind. We have seen many main awnings destroyed in thunderstorms. We do not pull the slides in because the wind might tear the slides off the RV but a strong sustained wind will overcome the slide topper ability to flex and the heavy resulting flapping may destroy the slide topper. I can only remember twice that we had to bring in the slides once in New mexico and once in Arizona.We did once have sheets of ice on the toppers. Two reasons for us is the additional shade/ cooling and the primary reason is "stuff" collecting on the top of the slides. We do not climb around on roofs or toppers.
