We have a 2014 Wildwood with 3 slides. We have the trailer stationary at a campground. We are weekend campers and have been bringing in the slides when we leave and then open them up when we return. 2 of the slides have toppers. Is it better to leave or bring in the slides every week?

i would bring in. only takes a few seconds to redeploy, and the peace of mind of at least slowing any varmit or critter down from getting inside would be worth it.
I usually leave mine out, but always worry about high winds / severe storm damaging the toppers. If there is a chance of storms, I will pull them in. Better safe than sorry.
IMHO, why leave the slide out, exposing it to weather/animals/debris, when you don't have to.
no slideout has perfect barriers to the outside when open. there's less chance of damage by keeping it in.
