OK, let me explain. Sometimes word can be confusing?
Simple question to answer your question? Do you park your family car on boards?
For almost everyone, the answer is "no!"
Why not?
Because we move our vehicles too often, and parking on lumber is just about ridiculous.
You just answered your own question.
What IS the answer I was expecting, logically? use lumber if you are not moving your vehicle/or camper over a long term period. Why? Especially for those reasons cited (1, 2, 3, and 4).
But, even with that? how many park their cars on lumber long term ... say at long term parking lots at Airports, in storage if you're a snowbird and leaving a vehicle parked (North or South in the USA) ... somewhere for 6 months? Being deployed in the military and your car sits in storage? Does anyone put their cars on boards, even when parked long term? I don't think so.
Is parking on boards REALLY necessary for RV then? Really? No. But we do it because of other underlying reasons.
Sorry for the confusion. Hope this helps.
