We always jack our up, not actualy lift the wheels off the surface, but just take most of the weight on blocks. We have a van cover which keeps the sun off.

Keep them completely out of the sun when not in use. Apparently life of a tyre (before it starts to deteriorate/component breakdown) is about 4 - 5 yrs.

I've been using CRC So-Easy One Step Tyre Care on a regular basis (each time I clean the vehicle, & after an extended trip away) for quite a few years now... Camper & trailer t yres are treated at least 2 - 3 times a year... D@mn good stuff, IMO..

I have t yres on my ol' box trailer which must be pushin' 20 years old, and there are no apparent signs of any "perishing" or cracking.. Trailer is full-time exposed to the elements..

The original t yres off my Patrol (which now get used on the C/T) are 9 years old, and apart from tread wear, look as new..

When my C/T & box trailer are not being used for extended periods, I take the weight off the t yres..
