Frequently Asked Questions

Should I store an RV with tires off the ground?

Storing an RV with its tires off the ground can be beneficial, particularly for long-term storage. While RVs are designed to bear weight on all four tires during storage, prolonged periods of inactivity might lead to flat spots on the tires.

For shorter storage durations, typically a few weeks or months, lifting the RV may not be necessary. However, extended storage, spanning several months or more, increases the risk of tire damage. Elevating the RV off the ground can mitigate this risk, preventing flat spots and reducing strain on the tires.

Whether to keep an RV’s tires off the ground depends on various factors: the duration of storage, tire condition, and storage environment. Consulting the manufacturer’s recommendations or seeking guidance from professionals can offer insights into the best storage practices for your RV.

If you’re planning on storing your RV for a while, you might be wondering whether you should keep the tires on the ground or lift the RV off them. Lifting the RV off the ground has some great benefits, including:

  • Preventing flat spots from forming on the tires
  • Protecting the tires from damage caused by the elements
  • Reducing moisture buildup around the tires
  • Increasing the stability of the RV
  • Making it easier to perform tire maintenance

 

Overall, lifting your RV off the ground can help extend the life of your tires and protect your RV from damage while it’s in storage. If you’re not sure what to do, it’s always a good idea to check the manufacturer’s recommendations or talk to a professional for advice.
