With my TT I don't bother to put the Stabs down unless I'm actually camping. The axle isn't centered so when I'm just in it putzing around with something it will shake but there is no way this thing is pulling a wheelie.

Here in the north I feel the tabs should be down if you are going to have snow on the roof. The weight of snow will be distributed down the sides of the camper onto the frame below. As far as a tire going flat. Most if not all owners manuals tell you to block the axle up and take the weight of the camper off the tires. ( I'm guilty of not doing this )
I also cover just the roof with a silver tarp and use a snow rake to remove excess snow.
Ours happen to be down while in storage this time since DH was on the roof shaking around the A/C cover. The TrailManor was shaking and the only thing holding it in place was the tongue jack and the wheels that were chocked on one wheel. He was in and out of the raised camper after that and it just made it more stable. I know he forgot to raise them up again, so with this post, it was a reminder to go over and put the stabs up. We usually never use them unless we are at the campsite.
