Stabilizing when at Home

At home: At the back end of my driveway I have a concrete pad that is perfectly level and flat that I park my boat (on trailer) and my TT. It dawned on me recently that I put wheal chocks and unhitch the boat and I'm done. On the TT, I put wheal chocks and I also put down the stabilizing jacks on all four corners... Is this just useless effort??? We don't use the TT at home and take it out one weekend a month between vacays.

    I keep our trailer at home on the driveway during the season and do use it on a daily basis so I do level & chock it properly and do deploy the stabs ... for anyone like yourself who is merely storing the trailer I see no point in deploying the stabs.

    I don't stab when parked at home. other than load/unload, I'm not in the trailer much when it's in the driveway.

    Guess it depends how much one driveway camps.
