Tire pressure

Had to let some air out of tires and take off ac cover to get through door to store TT for the winter. Should I air tires back up once stored? I've lowered the stabilizer jacks to take some weight off of tires.

Yes air them back up and take the weight off the stab jacks, that's not what they were made to do.

I've seen one blog that recommends putting an extra 5 psi in the tires during storage. Claim was it will help avoid flat spotting.
x2 on the wood, especially if you are parked on concrete.

Air them up and have wood or at least cardboard under them.

Pump up the tires to the max. pressure indicated on the tires' sidewalls. Nice to have indoor storage for the winter!
