Where does your camper hibernate for the next few months.

Winterized and ready for hibernation.

Mine is sitting in front of my third car bay in the drive way. Could put it next to the garage but it's fine where it is. Sat there during the summer when we were using it. It will be fine there and it's easier for me to go in and check it out through the winter.

Big Boy Toy Storage, year around when not in use. We live in FL about 1 mile from Atlantic Ocean. Too much salt air plus we sometimes have hurricanes
Not our RV in pic, just a shot of indoor storage area...

We converted our 60' X 60' barn, so the trailer can be stored indoors; winter, or whenever not in use. No birds, no critters, and no weather to bother it.

In fact, we just finished winterizing it about an hour ago!

I also had 60 amp service ran to the barn, in addition to the existing 110V. It's split at the breaker box, with two 30 amp branches. Also added high-intensity lighting in there, and it's bright as day to work inside.

The trailer shares its space with a boat and trailer, farm tractor, large utility trailer, and other 'stuff'.

Our biggest expense in doing this was adding a 14' wide by 14' tall overhead door, as well as building a gravel drive to the door and inside the barn. I borrowed a neighbors skid loader, so moving and leveling the gravel was a snap.

Hijack- but I joked with the wife about putting in 2 electrical hookups like you have. She said, "oh heck no- my parents my try to stay in there then" (my=her!). So we'll have to "settle" for just a single 50amp hookup.

Of course, this is all a pipe dream now...

Ours will sit in front of the garage on the concrete slab for another 5 weeks and then will be towed to Davenport/Orlando, FL and used until mid-late Mar and brought back and parked in front of the garage until we take off for somewhere else. Definitely going back to Goshen for the 2014 Rally. Probably an identical jaunt just like this year as it is TOWTA's 55th class reunion in Trenton, MO.

Since I have both summer heat and winter cold to contend with, mine lives in here:

Ours hibernates some where warm, with us in it. Two years ago it was in southern New Mexico. Last year it was southern Arizona. This year it will be southern Nevada with full hook ups. Next year, we don't know yet.

I'd like to winter in southern AZ, but my boss thinks I need to work.

Two good months of camping left in the year here in eastern PA. Not even thinking of putting her in dry dock yet.
