I know to extend the slides before  leveling but which is first when leaving camp?

'05 Monterey owners manual says air up coach, turn engine off, bring in slides. Reverse of arrival.

Lawrence,
Jeff is correct on the desired procedure. The reason is that there is less stress, twist, or torque on the coach when it is sitting on it's suspension, so the slide opening will be less likely to bind the slide when it is moving in or out.

It's easy to remember, Lawrence, the simple line BCS taught us when our coach was new, "Slides out first and in last".
