Stabilizers up or down?

[msobie]

Should I store Rig with stabilizers up or down if parked for 2 months? Does it matter?

With the slides in, I prefer storing in the up position. It keeps the shafts lubricated and better protected from dust, dirt and moisture.

I normally store between late October and February. I have my jacks and slides set on a 1 month cycle. So 1st month up/in, 2nd month down/out. I do clean the shaft with WD 40 before raising even while on the road. Everything else get operated on a biweekly basis. I do this hoping not to have failures. So far it's been a good practice in finding issues and making repairs. My MH is in the garage behind the house which make it easy.

A lot of people will put them down and leave them down for 3-4 months as they winter somewhere. Just clean the pistons before storing them. HW recommended using WD-40.

Slides out, jacks out.
Slides in, jacks in.

That’s how it was designed, so that’s how I roll.
