Certainly there exist a tipping/balance point where a gust of wind can blow a trailer off the jacks when the wheels are raised off the ground.
All wheels on the ground is the most stable position anything less is a compromise to a strong enough wind.
I have a hard time believing this. The jacks are welded/bolted solid to the frame. The wind cannot blow them off the jacks as if they were set on blocks.
I once had all the wheels off and lived in the trailer for a week while I had hydraulic disks installed. I had no problem.
In fact the movement on the jacks was less once the wheels came off.
