Hi all,
how often should I start up the engine and move the MH a few meters back and forth for the sake of the tyres when in storage?
Thank you.
Mike.

You should be using it for at least one weekend a month and three weeks away on proper holidays - otherwise you would be better off with a hotel holiday!

We move ours about once a week
and take it out about ever y three weeks
just to make sure every thing else is ok.
its better to be out and about than leaving parked for prolonged periods.

Since 1996, had Elddis/Swift/Rapido/Rimor/Chausson MHs. Autocruise/Globecar PVCs/Compactline i-138
To be honest just moving it backwards and forwards by a few metre's won't really help, it won't do it much good but it might actually be detrimental. You need to take it out for a proper run if you can to get the wheels moving round, the oil warm and lubricating the engine etc.
