We have owned one travel trailer and one fifth wheel that had slides. For both, the slides were extracted only after the trailer(s) were level and all jacks down firm. That means when hitching.... especially when hitching .... slides are always in.

On our first travel trailer, I asked the guy that did the PDI about extracting the slides when hitched. He said, yes you can. But he highly recommended we don't. He said, always extract the slides after the jacks are down. I didn't ask or question why. Common sense prevailed here.

When we got our current Montana, I asked the guy doing the PDI for us the same question. (Different dealer and 6 years apart between purchases, and 2 different trailer types, and two different Keystone brands). And the guy doing the PDI for our Montana said the exact same thing.
