[Rhodes22-list] Winter Storage

[Lowe, Rob]

I think the purists would recommend jacking up the trailer to reduce the weight on the tires.  But I've never done it.  They only thing I notice in the spring is the tires seem to have a flat spot where they have been resting on the ground and it takes a few miles to work those out.  But I've never observed any long term effects.  If you want to do this, jack up the frame of the trailer and put it on jack stands so that the tires are just off the ground. Make sure the jack stands rest on a hard surface or they will sink into the ground.  - Rob

I am relatively new to storing my Rhodes on a trailer for the winter.  Is it a good idea to jack up the trailer so the tires don't have weight on them during the several months of storage?  If so then what is the correct position for the jacks?  I have a triad double axel trailer.
