use hydraulic lifts down or up in winter for storeing

But what's the point? What's the advantage to doing it vs not doing it? I've never done it as I never could get a real explanation or definitive proof as to benefit of storing this way? Not trying to be difficult, I just don't get it.

My reasons are unique to my coach as I have a torsilastic suspension instead of air springs or leaf springs. Only way to allow my suspension to rest is to take some weight off with jacks. This proved to be something I wished I had been doing all along as I had a major component failure (rear torsilastic tube)this summer. Essentially my coach is used about 30 nights a year and the rest of the time it sits (indoors) on it's own suspension. Had I been relieving weight all these years my suspension likely would have lasted forever. That's why I relieve weight now.

On edit I also want to mention I didn't relieve weight with my previous coach either a 1995 Bounder with leaf springs. After about 7 years I had suspension work required as one side slumped. I feel like for the nearly 11 months a year of sitting it might have been better to relieve some weight with the jacks.
