Just purchased the 2014 wildwood 26tbss and learning the ropes as we are moving up from an old popup. I am gradually figuring things out however I am wondering if it hurts to leave my slide out when parked in my drive.

I leave both my slides out while parked at home.

Do you leave your rig plugged in or is that hard on the battery?

Most manufacturers recommend that you only run the slides out when you are leveled up. If you level-up in your driveway, there's no reason not to run the slides out and use them.
