Stabilizers & Winter

Do you put your stabilizers up or down when storing for winter?

With every RV we've owned (TT, 5-r, motorhome) we've always put the stabilizers down just enough to take a bit of weight off the tires. We lube them well to keep them from developing any rust over the winter sleep.

If you put the stabilizes down and a tire slowly goes flat you will overload that corner of the frame. If you want to do it because of a high wind area, put blocking under the frame near the wheels or under the axles right next to the wheels.
