Question Storage - electric stabilizer jacks up or down?

When parking do you keep the electric stabilizer jacks up or down?

The poll question (which you likely don't see if you're in the app) says:

I believe that means at home or at a 3rd party storage lot.

You can tell it's a poll because there's a little icon next to the # of responses.

Just didn't know to what extent he meant while parked.

And I read all the poll options.

Fyi I can read the poll question via app.

Interesting, in the app (iOS), I didn't see the poll options readily available. I'll have to look again.

But, I stand by (s)he said "Storage" implying storage.

checca, I don't mind - you can actually come out and say "Doug was right and that Turbo guy was very wrong."

Good Poll. I voted down, although I think winter weather (location of where you will store) has an affect . Living in Canada (and large parts of US) where the winter is cold, I like to get some weight off the tires and cover them as well. I put stabalizers down and jack stand under the axles as I have a 32ft flagstaff. I would like to ask others (turbo) is there any harm in having them down for a couple day storage or whatever?
