Hydraulic stabilizers down during storage

The only real downside I ever thought of when leaving jacks down for storage, is if there is a problem with your jacks when you go to take it out, you are stuck. But I guess better to know in storage than while on a trip. Any RV I ever had, the jacks will lose a small amount of pressure and relax. Hardly noticeable in a month, but in 3 months it could be several inches. My FW has been in storage for 2 months and we took it out last weekend. I didn't think about the jacks dropping and almost hit the bed rails on the bottom of the nose of the FW. And I know you are asking about MH's, but on FW's at least 2 of the jacks are always down (you can't store it any other way) and I have never heard anyone complain of any problem. And they are the same jack systems used on MH's.

Not a huge issue either way but I would lean toward raising them:
- Flat spots on the tires are more an issue from 40-50yrs ago. Modern tires are much more stable.
- Hydraulics will be under pressure, so lots of time to leak (but really a low risk).

Please explain.

Thank you

Yes, use the jacks to take weight off tires and suspension. Inflate tires to sidewall pressures. Don’t forget to reset pressures later. Also good time to give tires a good bath.

when my coach was not being used I supported the frame with jack stands to keep the weight off of the springs as well as the tires. I was on a concrete slab.
I have to think that most full timers keep their levelers down most of the time.
