parking with front wheels off the ground
i have seen many times that in unlevel sites people park on their jacks with the front wheels in the air. will this buckle the chassis or something? thanks all

I've done it, but don't like it.
The good news is I had a F53 that road absolutely terrible. When I had the front end off the ground for a week (I was in a monthly park) I heard a big bang from the front. Then about three days later another big bang.
When I left that park the F53 rode 10 times nicer. Turns out the shackle on the front leaf springs were corroded shut limiting the leaf's flex. Having those heavy tires off the ground broke the rust loose allowing the leaf springs to flatten while on the road.
