My trailer didn't move for 19 months when I lived in it away from home on weekdays for a work project.
The tires sat on the gravel/dirt with tire covers over them, and nothing more than the stabilizing jacks being down. After that period of time, I checked the tire pressures and added a few pounds as necessary, hooked up the truck and pulled it over 300 miles home.
No bearing issues, no flat spots on my tires, no rubber leaching, no seized up brakes.
