I have been storing my PAs on 3 inch PVC since my 2012 PA14. My 2015 PA14 is on 3 inch PVC (on the trailer) and sits in a garage that can get pretty warm in the south Georgia summer. Zero issues with this storage method affecting the hull for me.
This variance in issues or not caused by PVC bunks could be a flex factor. If the tubes do not easily conform to the rocker of the hull you would get hard points of contact and not properly spread the loads. It could be the pipe materials or the way they are installed on the trailer.
In order to accomplish the necessary flex in the tubes, it is important that the tubes NOT be set on a flat surface, such as a garage floor, truck bed, or flat bed trailer. If the ends of the tubes are mounted on 2x6 risers at least 8 ft apart, and the tubes are not supported anywhere in-between, they should conform nicely to the rocker bottom shape of the hull.
