Mark N - The couple that did the tire safety class at the National rally last year said that concrete pulls moisture right out of the rubber. I purchased some of those thin, flexible plastic cutting boards and put one under each tire when we are parked at our winter place.
Heard that too, but don't think it's proven. If you're leaving it there for an extended period of time, I'd lift the frame up about six or so inches and block it, but you don't have to completely lift the tires off the ground. Then jack each axle to lift the tires, and support them. This would help not having to make an extra step or two to get in and out. Cinder blocks, wood cribbing or jack stands will work. If you're using cinder blocks, make certain the holes are vertical to use their max. strength.
