Help preventing flat-spotting

Does anyone use Flatstoppers to help lessen the chance of getting a flat spot on their RV tires? I have a 36 foot 5th wheel that sits on my concrete drive for two to four months between trips. Worried because my other trailer did get flat spots after sitting about a year. The 5th wheel has very expensive tires (Goodyear LT 235/85R16 Load Range G) about two years old and I want to preserve them for as long as possible.

Flatsoppers is a brand name for a curved shaped ramp that the tire sits in. It supports more weight evenly on the bottom of the tire. So they say. Any recommendation would be helpful other than taking off the tires and leaving it on blocks. Also, it's a real hassle getting the trailer in and out of our drive so hitching up and taking it out for a spin every few weeks isn't a viable option either. Any help would be appreciated.
