Bwalz,
I realize that we have different coaches, but I was instructed by Newell to extend/retract the slides from the ROAD LEVEL position. After the slides are out, then I level the coach using the HWH computerized leveling system. When I retract the slides, first I press the road level button on the HWH computerized leveling system then after the coach has returned from level to road level, I retract the slides.
If I remember correctly, when Loc was demonstrating his slides to me he extended them from the road level position. You may want to double check this with your converter just to make sure.
Do you have HWH computerized leveling system?
