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?

I would love to hear the actual stories of those that ended up with a twisted frame because they left their stabilizers down and got a flat tire.. Ha, ha..
But, I guess if you believe that, then you won't leave your stabilizers down in the first place..
Anyway, I always put mine down when I park it at home. Have not worried about getting a flat tire while it's parked. And even if it did, the other tire will take up the load. I know because I had 2 blowout recently and only 1 spare.. Limped to the tire store on 3 tires for about 10 miles..
I like the stable feeling of it when parked, as it gets unloaded and loaded with lots of trips back and forth. Plus I regularly check on it at least once a week, so it's just nice to have it stable.
That's just my story on it, but as others have said, it's whatever you are comfortable with doing just as in anything in life..
Good luck! Mitch
