Kevin, you're going to tell us that you've bought a new toy but won't play with it for three months? REALLY? I'll bet every experienced RV'er on this site would recommend taking at least three short trips between now and the big day to 'iron out' your little wrinkles.
Oh, and congrat's, by the way.

"Short trips" can even be as short as "in the driveway"... Spending some time using the trailer, as notanlines said, makes a pile of sense.....

Storing for 3 months has burned 25% of the warranty!
I'd spend as much time in it as possible using every possible item in it, if only in the driveway, so if any warranty item rears it's ugly head it's repaired BEFORE camping season.
If you wait til spring & find a warranty issue you'll find yourself in a very long line at dealership along with everyone else that's waited til the start of the season to do something when it could've been done in winter when the shops were slower.

It looks really nice and I wish you and your family safe and fun travels. Now is the time to be making those campsite reservations for this summer. Enjoy!

Thanks for the reply. But as far as the warranty goes there isn’t any. It’s a 2014 so I don’t have to worry about using up warranty. As far as waiting three months I still have to work unfortunately and here in Michigan it’s not really camping weather yet. When the weather does get better and spring is actually here I will be busy planting corn. I’m hoping we are done planting by Memorial Day. There is no doubt we will not get to use it as much as I would like. Fortunately my wife will pull it and she will probably have a few occasions where her and the kids will go alone when I’m busy farming

I ran those tires on my last MH.
Just be sure the TT is not overloading the LT tires, even at 80 psi.
