New Fuzion 345 Chrome TH owner as of Friday. Yeah!!

Had it at the house for the weekend but took it to the storage lot where I will keep it in between uses. When not plugged into electric in storage (say for 2 weeks or longer between uses), do I need to auto level it or no? Today, I auto leveled it, but it resulted in one of the wheels completely off the ground a few inches..so I manually adjusted so all wheels were on the ground. If I get electric run to where I am parked, then obviously I would level it for the fridge. In doing this, and a wheel or two is off the ground (rig supported by the 6 hydraulics), should I put some lynx pads under the wheels or dont worry about it?

Last one...has three awnings, but two main ones on the side..I am shocked that when they are extended, they go up evenly..ie no way to tilt it to let water run off? The PDI guy said if it rains, dont have awning up as it will sit up there...seems odd..old style manual ones could be tilted. I did get 2 awning stabilizer kits(corkscrew things)...1) do these need to be put up and 2) if so, couldnt I tighten one down on one side to get a tilt to the awning to drain water? I would think it would compress the strut on that one side and work? When using these stabilizer, PDI guy said I would have to carry a ladder in order to put them on and take them off....so I need to carry a 10ft ladder around just to have awnings? Surely I am missing something here?

If you can be assured that leaving it on the levelers for extended times (months?), then why not? Takes some stress off the tires. If not, then it's no big deal, unless you plan on running the fridge. On the electric awnings, I believe they have a rain dump built in if they get too heavy. Basically, a spring that allows one side to tilt and dump the water if it gets to heavy. I have no electric awning experience at this time, so can't say definitively, only from what I've read here and in advertising. If you don't have a battery disconnect from the factory, put one on one of your battery posts. There's enough parasitic draw from gas detectors, clocks and electronic memories that you'll kill the batteries in about 60-90 days.
