Interesting topic. I keep my slides out from April to October at my seasonal site. During this time we keep lots of stuff (pots/pans) in the supplied plastic bins under the dinette seats. I was afraid of the weight when it came time to retract the slide, so I removed everything from under there, brought the slide in, then put everything back under there. In addition, I then collapsed the table to the 'bed position' and put some linens and other lite items in totes on top.
Are you saying this additional weight may affect the slide (bow it) over the winter to the point of the slide giving me possible problems when I go to put it out next spring? Total weight of everything is probably around 50/60lbs.
Like I did when I retracted the slide this fall, I plan on removing these items from the slide prior to moving it out. Once out, I plan on then putting the items back under the dinette seats
