Moving trailer during storage

For anyone with experience storing travel trailer in the winter, is it important to go move the trailer forward or back periodically so the tires don't sit in one position for an extended period? I've heard different schools of thought. We live in an area where there can be significant snow accumulation and the trailer will be stored outside.

Also looking for advice on whether to cover trailer or not during the winter. Wanted to narrow it down to cold weather climates. I think the question is different if you're storing it in the Arizona sun for example. UV isn't as much of an issue here as wet/snow/cold. Thanks all!

I don't move the camper once it's stored for the winter even though it's stored at the house. I do check the tire pressure from time to time and keep it at the max sidewall PSI.

As for covering - lots of opinions there. I cover but it's mainly due to the fact that we have a lot of trees around that drop needles in the late fall. Winter wind storms will also cause a lot of tree debris to get blown around. I'd rather not have all that material sitting directly on the roof over the winter when I can't regularly clean it off.

I don't move mine back and forth but I treat the roof with roof treatment, put conditioner on the rubber seals, lubricate the slideout, winterize the lines then definitely I cover it up to keep the snow and sun and stuff from eating up the roof.
