Items which are slide-outs should be retracted before the storage. The rubber seals, slide toppers, roof and mechanical parts will not be damaged when retracted.

On the other hand, they should be completely dry during winter. However, they can be fed with anti-freeze to eliminate the adverse effects brought by excess contraction and expansion due to fluctuating temperatures.
