What is the best way to store a Class A RV 36 ft. I have tried to move my New RV to the back yard, reason I bought a corner lot 2 years ago. Anyways I extended my gate, an much to my surprise the coach sunk to almost the axels. New plan Im pouring concrete stips @ 57 Ft by 3 Ft 2 of them. Is it best to let the RV wheels stay on the concrete for extended periods of time, or should I use my automaic levelers?

Thanks in advance Joe

PS new coach already whiped out a heated mirror and scratched the side on the fence, very sad, if I keep up at this rate my new coach will be garbage...

Now my gate has 6 extra feet so Im hopefull it will fit better.

You did not specify how long you are planning to store the coach.

However, I msuggest that you use your levelors to take the loaad off of your tires. One raises the coach until the bulge at the bottom of the tires is reduced. There is a bit of controversy about this practise but, I am suggesting the use of the levelors after listening to the HWH representative several years ago and my personal experience.

For longer periods of time, you might consider placing a moisture proof barrier under your tires and covering your tires from sun deterioration.

Hope you have better luck in the future.

When storing your coach on its levelers, remember to spray some oil on the
extended tubes every two weeks to prevent them from getting dry and
protect them from corrosion.

If you can, store your RV under a shelter to protect the roof from UV rays and
to shade the windshield and windows.
You'll also want to take preventative measures against the intrusion of rodents
and pesty insects.

Although others are recommending that you use your levelers. You need to check what the manufacture of your RV says about using your levelers for storage.

My manufacture does NOT recommend using levelers for storage.
