I no longer do this for two reasons:
1. The rain gutters do not work properly. The water hits the trailer side before it touches the ground and leaves black streaks. If the trailer is level the water never touches the trailer walls and they stay cleaner.
2. If I had a leak at the rear, water damage would be expedited. If all the water runs over the rear seam vs. half of it…
But, the roof of my trailer has a dome shape already and it’s rare for my location to have more than 8” snow on the ground/roof at a given time. If this was not true, I would probably still pitch the trailer upward.
