Putting trailer on blocks for storage

[chucknoel]

EZ Pass worked great when we were full timing. It is accepted in many states outside the east coast. Beats stopping at toll booths or the dreaded bill in the mail. Only costs a dollar a month. I got two transponders - one for my truck only (and I added my car) and the other for when I have the trailer hitch.

On a separate question, does anyone know if it is bad to put the Solitude up on blocks when not using it to keep the wheels off the ground? Any problems I can run into doing it?

Thanks,

In situations like this, it's best to start a new thread in the proper subforum rather than hijacking a thread on a different topic. That said, lifting the trailer so all the wheels are off the ground risks flipping the links on the equalizers. There is no need to do this - just take some stress off the springs with the leveling system.

We have a 351M, but it on jacks when storage, but just enough to take the weight off the tires, but not enough to let the axle flip, did that once easy to but back if you have a floor jack, takes good size floor jack, but when it flips back in can scare the "H" of your self and any one else around

I would put it up on blocks if for a very long time. Less than six months? Nope. Personally, I'm not convinced having the trailer off the tires on it's stabilizing jacks is safe. All other brands of trailer I have owned stated to never do that.

I do not use the stabilzig jacks change to 12 ton jack stands on the frame the with the back four jacks retraced and the front two down as normal with the until level,

Why? What is the reasoning?
