Welcome to the forum! It would be best to put it down so the top weight as resting on the lower half rather than on the lift system. I assume you are talking about indoors. Outdoors, definitely down.
Thanks alot Rich. We are going to use the trailer for the first time this weekend. I am glad that i have found this web site it has a lot of infor.
We live in Idaho so we plan on camping up in the Mtns.
If there is anything you don't understand about the trailer please ask. I hope you enjoy it and have a good camping trip. I haven't made out that way yet. It's on my bucket list.
