Stabilizer jacks at home?
If you are parking your trailer for an extended period of time without using it, do you need to drop the stabilizer jacks? If so, why?

It's really a matter of preference. I deploy the stabilizers when I'm camped. I leave them retracted when it's in storage or parked in front of the house for loading.
Some people are fortunate enough to keep their trailers at home. They might put the stabilizers down because they dislike the way the trailer moves when they are inside doing whatever. Others leave the stabilizers up because the movent doesn't bother them.
Some say to leave them up in storage in case a tire loses air putting undue stress on the frame. Others say the trailer should be able to handle the stress of the stabilizers holding up the ends of the trailer.
In other words you're going to get a lot of differing opinions on this one.
