Longer term storage question

I think taking your trailer for a drive once a month is overkill. Us folks up here in Canada leave your trailers parked for the winter approx 7 months every year without moving them. They last for years and years with no problems hibernating for that length of time.

Depends on what you mean by "Canada" - by land mass the second largest country in the world. ;) Look at a map of N America and you'll see that S Ontario where ~ 1/3rd of the total Cdn population lives is much further south than a significant portion of the northern US population so while many of those Americans are now suffering terrible winter weather we here in S Ontario are now just seeing our first signs of winter weather and in some areas around Lake Ontario and Lake Erie none at all. I usually winterize around the beginning of Nov but since we rarely see snow until we're well into Dec, sometimes even Jan, we could easily still be camping. Heck, I was painting the exterior trim on my house just a couple of weeks ago - beautiful fall weather. Now, if you want to talk about "Winterpeg" in Manitoba then yeah, winter can start early and last a l-o-n-g time. :E

As for the OP, if he's intending to keep his trailer I'd be inclined to put it in a seasonal park nearby and still use it when I could rather than just store it. :)
