I agree, never heard of getting one to use for little trips then park it. we have had tents, travel trailers and now fifth wheel. with about 2 to 3 months per year and about 7K or 8K or so miles per year, not sure of parking it. You bought it to use, then use it. If it is designed to sit and not be used, it be best left on the sales lot for others to see what not to buy! It is hard on things that don't get used, movign parts need to move. In all our years, never had to re place a pump, fridge, water heater, etc. Good Luck & Be Safe ! ! !
