Storing in the driveway for winter.

Sure I'm going to get a lot of opinions. Stabilizer jacks up or down? Can get windy and it's on asphalt.

I park mine on my driveway. I rarely use the stabilizers at home or when camping. Depending on the projected weather I may drop them down. Ex, Hurricane sculking around the Gulf.

Interesting. What is the ROI for putting it up on jack stands? I've not seen that before.

Get Mr Cross to run thru all that he does. It's a model for any one in a cold climate. His results prove it.

OK, I'll bite. Mr. Cross, what else do you do for winter storage? Maybe post elsewhere so this thread is not hijacked.

Down

Stabilizers down. Put a piece of plywood under the stabilizers. When it gets warm again you are less likely to put a "dent" in your asphalt. Ask me how I know. . . . .
