Question:
I want to partially off load the weight from tires and suspension during the winter months in Northern Vt. I have a Rpod 179 2016 model. What would be recommended for this specific applications. The trailer will be on compact dirt driveway with plastic plates so tires arent resting directly on ground.

Hello James,
I am sorry but our jacks are not designed to support the full weight of a trailer as it can bend the frame. I do not know of anything that we have to help get this off the ground for the winter.
