Leaving van on chocks?

[Heebson]

Hi folks,
Just gave my AS Nuevo a long overdue clean at the weekend and by far the worst was the roof, where there had been a lot of standing water.

Whilst we cleaned it, we put it on the chocks on the passenger front & back wheels, so the crap drained away from the mounted awning.

This could be monumentally stupid, please be kind, but I did then wonder if we should perhaps leave it on the ramps, so the water drains whilst it sits on our drive during winter (we still intend to use the van once or twice a month).

We could also do both front wheels, to drain off the back. It’s a Luton at the front.

Thoughts?

Thnx,
Heeb

If I jack the van up with the hydraulics so that the wheels are off the ground does that damage the suspension?

no but depending on what the van is parked on may damage the drive as it magnifies the weight to a smaller footprint - ie a steel axle stand will dig into tarmac and break brick paving - you need to re distibute the weight with plywood or something. All very do-able, but no substitute for the proper CP tyres, it jus depends how far you want to go to avoid using CP tyres that are made for the job.
