Exercising tires on a coach that’s parked for a while
Do you need to drive the coach to exercise the tires on a coach that’s in a park for many months. Thanks for any info.

- For those whose coach are not hibernated for the winter, getting them out every 4-6 week for a run of all systems, is a good practice. We're not in a hibernating location, and get our's our for a regular run in the 4-6 week window (Shoot for 4 weeks, but life happens:)!). We start the generator, put a medium load on it. Run the HydroHot, including the in coach multiple heat zone registers. Run the roof AC's for a bit, and also OTR AC and Heater for a bit (Well usually it's warm, so we run the OTR Heater then the OTR AC...). We run a regular route that we like, in non heavy traffic, for about an hour. Getting tires, engine, transmission up to operating temperatures.
We do not have jacks, air leveling, so our 40' DP, fully loaded with water and food supplies (Our Emergency Prep vehicle for Southern California Fires, Earthquakes and occasional brown outs/power failures.) - so it is not as light as it could be:)!
Cost very little in the overall scheme of things, to exercise a coach, if location and weather conditions allow you to do so.
Best to all,
