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?

Which is it - stabilizers or jacks? The answer may be different for each.
OP here. I am talking about the jacks that are at all 4 corners that is meant to prevent the trailer from rocking too much.
Since those are designed for stability and not engineered to support the full weight (Like a leveling jack) I would err on the side of caution and leave them up in storage. As others have said, if a tire went flat the weight would be distributed onto the stabilizer and could bend it. Besides, what's to be gained by less rocking on an RV in storage?
..I don't know. I haven't, but I have seen and heard others do it.
