The proper way is to remove the wheels, put the RV on blocks and put your tires into a dark corner in your garage with a soft blanket. Check on them daily and don't forget to tuck them in at night. Once a week take them for a walk and gently roll them around. They also enjoy soft music.
Seriously - it doesn't matter if you store it on jacks or not. Treat your jack legs with some sort of dust free lubricant if you have them down for an extended period of time, but there's no right or wrong answer. In my own experience I had one freeze to the ground when trying to leave for a trip last Feb. I finally got it free but I don't store it with them down any more. Haven't noticed any more aging on the tires or flat spots as some claim happens when they sit.
