is it bad for the trailer to leave teh rig on it for long periods of time? jiMMy

the biggest thing I'd worry about would be the tongue jack... most car trailers I've seen don't have ones that look very strong. I don't think it would really hurt anything else.

I used to leave my Zuk on my trailer all the time between trips, unless something was in need of repair. It never caused any type of problem to the rig or trailer.

The only thing that requires any attention on a stored loaded trailer are the tires as you can flat spot them pretty easy if you have a slow leak and they sit for a long time. Other than that I wouldn't be to worried, I have a few boats (one at 9,000lb +)that sit on trailers throughout the winter and they do not hurt the trailer in any way. Just watch the tires from time to time and so that they don't get low and develop a huge sidewall bulge. At that point they start getting brittle and crack which leaves you with a useless tire.

Other than what's mentioned above, I'd make sure there wasn't any moisture trapped under the tires of the playtoy, or it could lead to rotting of the deck (assuming it's a wood deck).

Naw, its a diamond plate deck. Deck is 100" wide, perfect for those full width guys.

Go get yourself a cinder block and set the tounge down on that.

Helps keeps the jack from freezing up.
