Since the slide out should be built to seat 4 people it should handle 400 while extended or closed but the slide out probably was never intended to be opened or closed with 4 people in the slide out.
Rv slide out weight limits.
If you spend most of your rv time parked then a slide out is the greatest invention to come down the pike.

It is not a good idea to max out the weight limit of your rv slide out for safety purposes.
For example they can add up to 1500 pounds to the weight of an rv and also add up to 12 000 to its selling price.
Maybe 150 would be ok.
Also even the jacks that are holding the slide in place can take a good beating if you put too much weight on it.

Using slide outs when parked temporarily.
What i suggest you do to ensure you do not overload your slide out is contact the rv maker with the unit.
Extended warranties for them cost up to 30 more than they do for non slide units.
The rule of thumb done by experience says that adding an extra 1200 pound to the slide out will not hurt it at all.
