Water ponding

2022 F.R. Wildcat 5th wheel

Curious about others thoughts. I recently read an article that said when camping and rainy season you should have your trailer tilted otherwise water will puddle on top of the slide outs. The theory was that the top is very thin and the weight would would be a lot.

Obviously, if you don’t have the covers on the slide outs.

I always tilt the coach in rain (lower the front end). It helps water draining from the slides and the roof.

I do too, but I lower the rear. Not sure it matters which end is lower, I just don't want all that water coming down on the front and side windows.

Same.
Not so much rain, but the A/C condensation runoff.

OP, the weight of the water on your slide is not an issue, but having it pool up against the seal may be.
