Our manual says do not store the camper with the slides out. So, now we need to define just what 'store' means. One week, two, three years? The wife and I thought it would be a lot of work to get the slides in just to move. After a few times, we each have our 'assigned' tasks and we are ready to put the slides in within 10 minutes of starting. I'd say if you're leaving for more than a few days put them in. That way if someone decides to hook up and steal your camper they have less work to do.
