waligators Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 What does everybody do with there house when you bring it home for a week or two? I always drop mine to get the weight off the suspension/axle. Probably don't have to, but its a piece of mind thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-man715 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 If it's in the driveway it is up. I don't think you are gaining anything by lowering it other than exercise Which ain't a bad thing I block mine up on land all summer when it is used for camping.

Minnie_sota_Mike Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I do the same, mine has hydraulic/torsion axle and I like to to keep the weight off the torsion axle whenever possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffB Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I leave mine up unless I'm using it. Let the wind blow beneath it to dry things and keep the steel up and away from snow and moisture. My boat trailer and several other trailers I have don't get blocked up why should the fish house. And I've never had mice in mine like a few friends I have that lower theirs. If you do lower it I would at least block it up a few inches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redlineracer12 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I lower mine most of the way (sitting on blocks), makes it easier going in and out of it when packing for the next trip. Also keeps it from rolling down the driveway and is a little bit of a theft deterrent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takes less than 5 minutes to crank back up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeJ_Mn Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Mine stays up only when I am going down the road. When at home, I also let it down on 8x8 blocks. In the summer, when not in use it is blocked and the wheels taken off. I grease everything and spray white lithium on the cable, pins, and winches. I put an RV cover over it to keep the summer sun off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
