Are you ready for my opinion?   I don't believe that I would store my trailer in a open position for several months.  Part of the engineering of the TrailManor is the spring mechanism that helps lift (and lower) the top shells.  By keeping the roof in a standing position, does this put stress on the springs, thus making them tired?  I have always heard that  a camera for example should not be placed on the shelf in a cocked position.  It is much like taking a deep breath and holding it for a long while.   Also, I would think that there would be less chance of insects and other critters to get into the trailer in a folded position.  Besides, if I had a storage like your barn, I would enjoy going out (even in a blizzard) and petting my trailer once in a while.  It doesn't take much to raise it and then become a big game hunter looking for tracks of unwanted residents.

Is this a question for the factory?
