Mine are up. The trailer is in a large car port.

The stabilizers are there just to reduce the amount of motion in a parked trailer with occupants. Not much need for that during winter storage.

Now, if you plan to use the trailer where it sits during the winter, you might have need for them to be down.

I leave mine down as we get pretty wild winds sometimes and it helps keep it more stable.

My TT is parked on the side of my house. I always keep them down, TT IS plugged in, fridge is full of my favorite adult beverage n Scooby snacks. Never know when I may need my DOG HOUSE. Therefore I need it to be stable. By the way I have to use it OFTEN. 💔 Truly I don't think it really matters ... Just depends on your needs.
