Blocking up camper for the winter
We are new at camping and have a travel trailer with tandem axles. When I store the camper I would like to block the axles as to have the tires off the ground. What would be the best way to do this?...

I had my last TT for 8 years and never jacked up during the winter, and never had any issues with the tires. I was going to change tires last year (due to potential age/dryrot) until I decided to buy a new TT anyway. I park the TT on a gravel pad, and then cover up the two tires on the one side that gets sunlight. That's it - never saw the need to jack up the TT, and was always afraid to do it because of potential strain on the frame or other components. I'd also be hesistant to walk around inside the TT when jacked up, since it is designed to transfer weight loads to the axles and wheels. And I'm not sure what stresses I'd be putting on the slide out when jacking the frame.
