I have stayed at many Walmarts and truck stops (and Cracker Barrels). I like to put my slides out at least on one side, and therefore try to park somewhere where those slides can go over a non-parking area (curb, island, etc.). If parking across several automobile spaces, I park such that my extended slides (on one or both sides) don't protrude into adjacent lanes/spaces.

In no circumstances would I leave slides out if they protruded into adjacent roadways or spaces. For me, safety is not the issue, it's courtesy/manners.

Note that we do not hear about people crashing into slide-outs in parking lots, so those incidents must be rare. Mostly a courtesy issue, not safety.
