How many pay for Storage

[ryand]

I am curious how many members of FRF store their RV's in a lot vs. have enough space to keep them at home avoiding the storage fees....

Having just paid the three month storage bill, and not using the camper due to the winter i just was curious how many folks pay like I do to find a home for the beloved RV...

In not so round numbers it will be about 17k +/- to be able to store the trailer out in front of the house for a year.

Mines in my driveway. I feel fortunate to fit the 40'er between the sidewalk and front of my garage.

$255 month indoor, valet.

Since selling my farm and moving into town it has been a storage lot event. I have repeatedly thought I could buy acreage and come out ahead but between owning a boat slip and paying for camper storage I end up with the storage lot winning. The advantage is that the lot I use has excellent security and it is close.

Have the space, but the darn HOA won't allow it. I pay $25/month for outdoor, fenced in, 24/7 access, with security cams and owners that do a daily drive through of the place, storage. Been there for six years now and not one issue.

Have the room but the HOA does not allow a camper parked at home for more than 24hrs (I never had a problem going a couple days). I was paying $50/mo for a fenced in storage lot. It was about 20-minutes from home and the camper was sitting in a field with about 20 other campers. I thankfully found an old farm at the entrance to our development (our homes are all on their former farmland) that has an empty pole building... There's about 6 campers there... Roof overhead and protection from the elements on all sides, 24hr access and electric access (limited to cleaning and cooling down the fridge)... All for $40/mo. An absolute bargain. Other storage areas with a roof goes for about $200/mo around here.

We pay $40/month for outside, fenced storage. Plenty of security cameras, 27/7 access to the lot, probably 2 dozen other RVs in there. In the almost 2 years that we've been there, there has never been an issue with security. Owners are in and out of the property several times each day.

We have the room and we don't have HOA restrictions. It's one of the perks of living outside city limits.

"Francis" resides outside our back door, just beyond the patio in the back yard, on shore power 24/7, and behind a privacy fence when she's here. We'll go get 'er Saturday from our dealer after the quickest warranty work ever imagined...one week to handle about 8 issues.

Our back yard looks strange with 'er here, and Freddie the camping dog keeps looking for her.

We've not installed a cover for her yet, but it's in the works. We've decided instead of one of those pre-fab metal type garages we're going to build one.

I've gotten way too accustomed to having kitchen stuff stocked in the RV as back up. At least 3 times I've run short on something and thought....wait, I've got some in the RV....ummm nope, RV's 90 miles away. Can't wait to get it back home!

I bought out house long before ever thinking of buying a camper. Storage lot for me.

[WEMig]

Stored at home. Got its own parking spot under a metal cover, concrete floor, and 30 amp power.

I bought a house with RV storage that I thought I would never use. Having the Storage area actually helped me buy an RV. Without it I would have never bought one.

My storage fee is actually included in my seasonal camping fees where the trailer stays year round. I have access to the trailer anytime I want. I like to check on it monthly to make sure the cover is doing its job.

Our house and lot are too small for the fifth wheel and it's also against the HOA rules. We pay $35 a month for fenced outside storage.

[Joe_GA]

We have an acre lot, plenty of room, an RV shelter and 30 amp and 50 amp circuits. My cousin periodically visits with his motor home and parks along side our RV. Now, I just need a sewer hook up and I could call it an RV park! LOL!

We live on 10 acres, and when our electrician buddy was helping build our garage we ended up with a couple "rv sites" his own included for when he comes fishing. I love my camp driveway in the summer, wifi, direct tv, etc. During the winter we are fortunate enough to store it indoors in FILs pole shed about 10 miles away. So I check it every few weeks for critters or whatever, knock on wood this is our third winter and no issues.

I have enough room to park it at my house. But in the U.P. of Michigan where we get 200" to 300" of snow I prefer it to go indoors. I found a private airplane hanger 2 miles from us and he charges $400 for the season. Now I'm trying to decide to build metal roof to cover it or put the money to drive it south every winter to keep it clean.

I am lucky the sunseeker gets a spot in a heated shop and i can access it any time i want.

We have acreage, and converted our 60' X 60' barn to toy storage. No birds, no raccoon's, no elements to expose the parked trailer to. I built a driveway to it from the road, added a 60 amp service box, a 30 amp outlet, and wired the entire barn with 20 amp plug-ins and overhead lights. We put a 14' X 12' roll-up door in the wall facing the road, and parking the trailer is a breeze.

Pull vehicle is parked in a totally enclosed 20' X 60' machine shed, which we added wiring and a roll-up door to.

Overall, this is a perfect setup for us.
