- Dick_BExplorerFor that length of time I would put the rig on RR ties and get the tires off the ground; or at least take the load off. You might also review the suggestions on the Michelin website: https://www.michelinman.com/storingTires.html

for a couple of years at least
That's quite a while. I'd elevate them or maybe spin them around every year so a different part is making contact. Also, how old are the tires? It might be time to consider changing them when you do eventually move.
Aside from the tires, if I were leaving my RV stationary for that long I'd throw it up on the blocks just for my comfort while using it. - wildtoadExplorer III no nothing about fifth wheels in regards to tires. But for my MH Goodyear says to use the levelers to reduce weight on the tires and to inflate them 25% more than normal to reduce flat spotting.
- Bill_SatelliteExplorer IINo. Something between the earth and the tires is somewhat beneficial but also not required. Maybe something like plastic or plywood if on dirt.
- LwiddisExplorer III agree but protect from sun damage.
- Fresno_Tundra_DExplorerYou probably don’t need to and most don’t but I do for peace of mind when our trailer is parked longer than 2-3 months.
- smartyExplorer IIdo not think so but place something under the tires so they are not on the ground and get tire covers
