I am open to trying what you experts have come up with. DW has suggested she wants a very stable 5er. Thanks for your imput.
Personally, I'd jack the entire rig up and block the frame with wood cribbing, then remove the wheels and store them in a cool, dark place, liberally coated with something like Aerospace 303 Protectant and NOT ArmorAll. Skirt around the bottom to keep trash out as well as give you more insulation for the cool/cold times. Looks nicer, too.
