I agree with the above comments but want to add: Be careful about leaving the battery charging. I installed a batt disconnect switch because mine will overcharge the battery.

Should FW be stored with slide in or out?????????

Trying to decide which is better. Is a slide more likely to leak with it open or closed? We have an awning topper but it droops and holds water when it rains. What do you experienced RVers do?
