Slides In or Out

I store my coach inside and am considering leaving the slides out when in storage.

Are there any pros or cons for doing this?

The only cons I can think of are:

1. If it lost power and you had to have it towed you might have a problem.

2. If you had an emergency where you needed to get the coach out of the storage area fast you would have to take the time to put the slides in.

Garage door is 20ft so could get out in an emergency. Other issue not to worried about. It would be a pain to retract slides manually but face that every time I go camping.

We leave the slides OUT and have in previous trailers and now the Beaver. Much easier to clean and do the small projects - no negative results...

We park IN, just in case we have an emergency. Ready to roll away
