Back in the day when we previously had a caravan (16 years approx) I remember people suggesting moving the caravan on your driveway occasionally, so the tyres don't sit on the same spot all winter - is this still advisable?
Thanks.
Thanks.
Move van on to help tyres last?

I used to move mine during any longer periods in storage and check pressure was okay. Cannot do any harm.

This question will elicit as many differing opinions as using or not using a de-humidifier does.
It's certain that you will get plenty of differing views/opinions, each being happy to convince you why their view is correct.
My opinion, for what its worth, is that it certainly cannot do any harm. So if YOU think it worthwhile/want to do it, then crack on.

We did not use our van over the winter, so I would jack it up and put axle stands under the axle. This was partly for extra security, also to rest the tyres, (perhaps unnecessary), and to remove the worry of damaging the tyres and the steady mountings in the event of a flat tyre. The van was in storage so difficult to keep a check on the tyre pressures.

The best answer to that question - is to use the caravan more often all year round, then it's not an issue.

Caravans often sit unmoved on dealers forecourts all over the winter (and longer)
Just saying!
