I have read it is best to get the weight off the tires when in storage, but that is not possible for me since I have the space issues mentioned above. I get the TM where I want it, and raise the tongue jack, which lowers the front end. Then I crawl under the rear of the TM with my trusty drill and lower the jacks as much as I can. Then I lower the tongue jack as much as I can, which raises the front end of the TM. Then use the drill to lower the front jacks as much as possible. Now quite a bit of the weight is supported by the 4 jacks and I can raise the tongue jack and pivot the swing away hitch. Don't forget to chock front and back of the wheels. I have absolutely no idea if this proceedure does any good, but I feel better about storage of our TM when I do it!!!
