I just picked up my new Hartland 3370RL from Lake Shore RV in MI. What a great bunch of folks to work with. This is my first. I had them install slide out awnings on all 3 slides. I live in upstate NY, is it OK to leave the slides out.
 
I have a park trailer with two slides and no slide out awnings.  I leave the slides open from April 1 - November 1.  I get up on the roof at least once a month to clean off debris and clean the gutters out and I will also get up after a heavy rainstorm to sweep the water off of the slides.  My roof has a 12 year warranty and this includes the roof on the slides.  As I get close to that warranty expiring or less comfortable climbing on the roof, I may go for the slide out awnings.

Some folks place an inflatable ball between their slides and the awnings in order to help the water run off better.  I don't have any advice to offer regarding snow and ice. I am sure others on the forum do.
