RV parking

Can anyone tell me if I need to release the airbrakes on my RV while it is parked and on jacks? We have our RV parked for long periods of time with the slides out and on the jacks. ( 2000 Winnebago Itasca DP ) Recently moved the RV and after moving the slides in, raising the jacks and putting in drive once air pressure had built one of the front wheels brake was stuck. We are still pretty new to RVing so I am not sure if I need to put the airbrake on after parking and leaving it engaged after leveling the RV or should it be disengaged? Manual does not address this at all.

Thanks

kcmoedoe is of course right. Maybe I didn't answer the whole question, I just answered the stuck brake issue. Put your parking brake on while parked or bad things will happen sooner or later. I was addressing the stuck brake. It is not too uncommon for a brake to stick while a coach sits for a long time. Moisture and air on metal form rust. Rust sometimes forms and makes it hard for the brake to release when it should. Common practice is to get under there and smack it a few times with a hammer. Be careful what you hit. Don't try to power out of it with the engine. That can cause damage to the wheel/brake and maybe the transmission. I am not an expert, just trying to help. Sorry if I sounded like a smart a-- before, it wasn't my intent.
