Stabilizer jacks at home?
If you are parking your trailer for an extended period of time without using it, do you need to drop the stabilizer jacks? If so, why?

The answer depends.. Stablizer or leveling? Leveling I put down to lift a bit of load off the springs.
What kind of springs.
Are you going to be using it
is it stable without them for your use
I had two trailers.. one when I parked for the winter I wanted it "Canted" (end to end) so rain and snow melt ran off better.. The other had a domed roof so I kept it fairly level but just the tongue jack as over-winter it was a store room.
Stored the coffee and other refreshment service for a youth philharmonic.
Then on rehearasal day move all to my car.. Go to the hall. Take out one of those convertable 2 or 4 wheel hand carts in 4 mode. Drop an angle bracket into the slits I cut in the Foot plate. Hook a wheeled "Foot locker" type thing on it and load up everyting for one trip into the school... (Hire an engineer... you get a train).. Real handy.. of course this last paragraph has nothing to do with the subject but I hope you got a laugh. (did that for 3 years).
