Leaving Trailer Hooked Up
Since I am in the heart of the Ridgecrest earthquakes, I have hooked up the trailer to the truck with the equalizer installed and am leaving it hooked up to 110 with the fridge on. The water tank is full and the gen is full of gas. I was going to leave the jack down to relieve pressure on the suspension, but when the 7.1 hit the other nite the trailer was bouncing around quite a bit and slid on the jack(even with the BAL ground chocks installed). I happened to run to the area of the yard where I had sight of it.
I know I am in earthquake country so I have always kept a nominal amount of water and gas in the trailer, but in this case I feel a little more prep is needed. The goal of course would be to use the trailer where it is if needed, but there may be a need to move it.
With the USGS predictions, if nothing big hits within the next week or so, the chances drop dramatically that it will, so I will unhook next weekend if that is the case. Actually, I have reservations in Mammoth next weekend, but the wife is a little shy of going not only further into quake country, but a geothermal area as well. We will see.
Any advice on keeping in this config for a week or so (jack up or down etc) would be helpful. Thanks!
