Sent you PM. Talked with owners and they will work with you.

Just responded with pm. We have been out of the country as in overseas for 3 months, just getting back into the forums.

Depends on your coach length. Cant say for 3 weeks, but the cost is 147.00 monthly for my 35ft measured length coach.
So its more or less, but its not that much.
I get a Police, Firemans , Veterans discount off that a few bucks.

RCtime,

Thanks for the lead Ron. It is a bit spendy, but not outrageous for where it is and certainly no more than I expected (I'm used to $55 a month, but that's an exurb of Rochester NY). I've spoken to them and apparently they charge by the month and do not take reservations. I'll have to pay for two months as I am 2 weeks in April and 1 in May.

Anyone need a spot there from May 7 to May 31?

I'm still looking, but this sure looks convenient.

Give them a call, I'm sure they can accommodate you/ They are located right at the 91& 605 freeways, an easy drive to lax, may 30-35 minutes.
I store my motorhome there and they have great security.
No power, so an open spot would do you, dump sta. and wash

Actually, now that I look closer at the photo, I don't think those RV's parked at LAX are in long term parking. I only looked for that lot because I saw an article in the LA Times about airline pilots and other airline employees living in RV's in a parking lot at LAX. There are two parking lots next to each other with RV's and I assumed the lot to the north was the one in the article. But if you look close, the lot to the North doesn't even appear to be gated. You just pull into it off La Cienga Blvd. The other lot, just south, is clearly within the airport parking lots, but on closer look a lot of the RV's in the lot have their slides open and they're all parked a space apart from the others. I think that is the parking lot that the employees are using to camp in while working. According to the article you have to be an airline employee then to use that lot.

If I wasn't so chubby and too old to climb fences, I'd take you up on this offer and I bet nobody would even notice. Unless you're talking about the fence around the secured part of the airport. If you are, that's not what we're talking about here. We're talking about the parking lots which are next to roads and industrial complexes.

Try climbing a fence at LAX and you'll find out how good secrity is. Check with Golden Shore RV paprk and see if they can help you find a place. They are at Long Beach but may know from past expeerience. I stored mine in Bell Gardens on the 710 at Florence AV. Don't know if they are still there or not.

Another suggestion and I know it's further than you requested. Where I store my coach is a gated, camera'd, enclosed individual garages with an outlet (20 or 30 amp). So for about $400 or so, you can rent a nice garage for your new Phaeton for a month (use only 3 weeks if you want) and keep your coach out of the sun and protected. You can drive your toad to LAX and park it in a long-term lot. It's about a 2.5 hr. (about 130 miles) drive on the I-10, off on the 60 (all freeway) to LAX from Indio, CA (just 30 miles east of Palm Springs).

When you return, you can experience the desert for a few days before you head out as it's beautiful in April/May.
