My question: Is it necessary to use support under belly of TC for winter storage (6 1/2 months)?....
In my opinion, if it is that close to the floor, why not add a concrete block and a couple of pieces of lumber at each corner? Even if, as others have stated, you do not "need" support, the stability that it offers is a very comfortable feeling when you might need to be inside during its storage.
I fully support my TC off the truck. There have been few times that I have not gotten the chance to install my cribbing and during those few times when inside, I am literally tip-toeing inside because it "feels" wobbly and unstable. I like the feel if it being firmly supported irrespective if the mfgr recommends it or not.
A few blocking components at each corner are relatively inexpensive but the stable feeling it buys in my opinion is worth it.
