No offense taken. Why lighten up, I said that you had a vast amount of experience?
I would guess that I had my first RV before you were even born and right now my coach is sitting over in Lexington Park, MD at my Son's house. I think of an RV the same as a fully loaded truck. Even when in storage, it is only a few thousand pounds lighter than the maximum gross weight of the chassis, tires, and suspension. Common sense would dictate that anything that could be used to ease the strain on the tires and suspension components would NOT be a bad thing. To that end, I have the jacks so why not use them? I've been using my jacks since leveling jacks first came out in the 70's and have never had to replace any springs that have sagged, or jacks that were damaged from being extended. Maybe I have been lucky, but I have read on this forum where many owners have had to replace their springs to correct their ride height. Using my jacks costs nothing. Replacing sagged springs is expensive.
My large pieces of construction equipment were always placed on blocks when in storage, which was standard procedure for the very expensive equipment with expensive tires. My money so my choice based on my experience.
