Jacks Up or Down for Storage Problem Solved

[Latitude]

After removing all perishable and freezable articles!! Dumping/Draining, Blowing out,pinking up and blowing out again!!!!!
I put the Coach in Winter Hibernation to-day

With Jacks in the Up/Store position I blocked/cribbed to within 1" of Jack Pads, I then Dumped the air, Coach settled on Blocks/Cribbing.

When we head out to Florida next March I will just air up pull the blocks and Good to Go

By doing it this way
Weight of Coach is OFF Tires
Jack springs are not stretched out
Chrome Cylinders are not exposed to the winter elements
Air Bags are not full all winter

That's a great idea.

But why don't you just go to Florida now?

Hey Batt

I wasn't sure where you got the Lot of EnergyLOL. But I already had the bottom Piece with the 4x4's for pads!! I just added the top a 12', 2x10 cut to 1' lengths!!


I made them up but I seldom carry them, I have 2, 16" x 16" 3/4 ply screwed together, I use for Jack Pads

Notice you place tires on pads also good idea.
