Parking

Paid an extra $600.00 to pave the area next to my garage. I will not buy anywhere where there is an HOA. I bought the property, built a new home on it and refuse to put up with people telling me I cannot do something reasonable with it like storing my trailer or putting up a flag pole etc.. Our town has very reasonable rules to cover this issue.

Our HOA will not allow parking of our tt. We rent a space on blacktop fenced in with security gate and cameras for $38 per month. However they double the price after a year, so we move to the same storage facility company but at a different location and as a new customer they give us that $38 deal. Once they double it we move back to the first storage facility and as a new customer they again give us that $38 deal. its worth it to move it once a year... No problems at all after 3 years

Live in a condo so offsite storage is a must.

Have a drive thru 50ft long 14ft wide paved storage unit with 2 12ft x 14ft high doors and 20A electric. Plenty of room for the 36ft MH. $1000/year. It's nice to keep the MH out of the weather, especially during the Spring storm season.

I initially priced storage in the Charlotte area because I thought I would have to keep it off site. Pricing was about $60/month secured and video. But, upon looking at our HOA rules, it turns out I was allowed to keep it in the yard. As long as it was in the rear yard and "inconspicuous." However inconspicuous a 28 ft TT can be. haha. Maybe I need a camo tarp for it.

We belong to Midwest Outdoor Resorts/coast to coast, and we store our TT at our "home" CGs gravel lot for $180 a year. Great price, Great year round Security.

My HOA will not allow an RV in the drive, so I store mine offsite for about $40 a month. No cover, no elec, but there is a dump station.

My HOA will also not allow a camper in the drive (something I knew when we built our house) but I wonder how much this has an impact on the RV industry. All new neighborhoods where I live have HOAs with the same or similar rules. Lots of young families in these neighborhoods and very few people seem to go camping.

Storage lot a mile from the house. $45/mo, gated, with each customer having their own security code. Video cams, and the owner lives on site. The HOA said no trailers in your yard, but after the city of Austin annexed our neighborhood, Austin rules prevail....we can now store in our yard as long as it is behind a wood privacy fence. However, I have huge live oaks that cover my back yard, so there is no room for our trailer...even more so now with the much taller fifth wheel.

Red Wolf what part of Austin? I currently keep mine in kyle because austin storage lots were so expensive. Paying $36 but 1 hour round trip to pickup. Would be interested for something closer to home.

We use a lot $27.50 a month gated and locked no need for Security. The mennonite folks ( my lineage) live close by no lights, no cars and certainly no fifth wheel horse powered buggies to hitch her up with!

We don't live inside city limits, so there's no zoning laws, much less HOAs. LOL, folks around here would REVOLT!

If the nearest city tries to incorporate the area where we live, we'll MOVE!

DH had 50 amp service installed shortly after we bought the V-Lite last year, so now we park the 5er where the V-lite lived, in the back yard behind a privacy fence. We have motion detector lights and security cameras aimed at it 24/7.

We're going to cut down a large oak this summer and build an "add on" to his shop that will accommodate the 5er. He got on top last evening to install the new antenna and was gob smacked at how DIRTY the roof is already, because of that tree, and we've only had it since January 4th. It's a live oak, and those gnarly limbs has caused sleepless nights for me every time there's a storm. So down she goes, and we'll have plenty of firewood for camping!

In the front yard until the city makes me move it. It took them about a year to catch on with the last camper. Then it will be $85/month for outdoor close by storage. Cheaper if I want to drive a ways, which I don't. Love having it in the yard.

$62/month, fenced with coded entry, lit, with security cameras. 2 minutes from home.
Our town refuses to issue any more outside storage permits. I would assume 80% or so of neighborhoods are under an HOA, so you can imagine the waiting list keeps growing.

$100/month. Indoor storage with valet service. Very nice since it at the dealer and service center. Anything needs fixed, added or winterized it gets done when I drop it off.

HOA will not let me store mine on my property, so I have mine about 5 miles away and pay $50 per month. It is gravel and fenced and I was lucky enough to land one of the corner spaces that allows for full extension for the slide out.

Also HOA in our case.
We pay $35/month for fenced and guarded outside storage 2 miles from home.
The guard dogs are 2 Yorkies, they would probably give the keys to anyone .
