I've got a 38 foot fifth wheeler on a permanent site at a campground. The dealer delivered it there for me, as I don't have a truck yet and have no intention of moving it anytime soon. That said, I know I shouldn't just let it sit stationary without moving at all for a long period of time.
I assume I'll have to find a local towing company or another friendly camper to hook up and move my rig every once in awhile, even if it's just around the campground and back to my spot.
Has anyone dealt with this issue before, and how frequently do you think this needs to be done to protect the tires from wear as long as possible?
There's no real reason you =have= to move it around, IMO. Were it mine, I'd take the tires off and store them in a cool place (they'll likely dry-rot in 3-4 years anyway, especially if China bombs) and block the frame up at 6-8 points along the frame, then fully skirt the trailer, including around the overhang.
