prevent tire rot?

How do yall keep your camper tires from rotting at the lease? Remove? Park on blocks?

They make pretty cheap tire covers. keeping the sun off keep them helps.

My old lease camper I just pulled it over old 2x4s and covered up the sides of all tires with some old plywood. Never had a problem with them and my camper was a 1978 model that I had for years! When I sold it the buyer took it all the from Jasper to Rocksprings and called me when they got there and said there was no issues

Yep. My dad use tire covers when he stored his camper.

Would filling them with nitrogen help also?

I think keeping the weight off of the tires helps a lot. Tbh'er coup de grace showed me about lowering the front end of the camper really close to the ground and then placing cinder blocks or wood blocks under the back bumper. Then jack up the front pretty high and block off the front end the same way. Adjust it to where the tires are barely touching the ground. Will be really stable with no camper shake and take the weight off the tires.

That's a great and easy tip.

How about the trailer jacks?

Any issue using the trailer leveling jacks for long storing periods?

I don't think so, but they are not near as a stable as the cinder blocks or 4x4s. At least the ones on my camper. I'll try to find a pic:

Change them every 5 years. A blowout on a camper will tear that thing up!

Tire covers... they work miracles.
UV rays kills tires.

I use plywood tucked up under the fenders and then concrete blocks holding the plywood up against tires on the bottom. I feel like it helps to keep the sun rays off of the tires, and is quick/easy to place and remove for travel.

I bring my camper home and put it under the barn during the off season.

Gonna remember that tip. Thanks.

I park on plastic parking blocks that are sold at the RV stores. They don't soak up water like wood does. I also use tire covers which are also sold at the RV stores. This is to protect from sun damage.
