And they are forcing us to reduce water use so a developer can make millions.

$151/mo to store your trailer on a 15'X35' piece of open, uncovered runway?

Hah!

It's Orange County, CA - not TX or the Santa Cruz mountains!..:S

Open space (anywhere) is a prime commodity - worth *MUCH* more for other -way more profitable- uses.

Take your wildest guess at what the other RV storage facilities are charging now for the same thing - and add about $50-$100.

(That is if you can find one with space/s available - most have waiting lists)

So - you head for storage in adjoining counties - outside the L.A. / ORCO metro areas.

On closing, MCAS El Toro (part of which is the storage facility) was originally destined to be another major airport - until voters defeated that plan.

Lots of houses being built and a new HS now under construction.

Can't have "eyesore" RVs (etc) stored in the city of Irvine which might *detract* from the residential development/s...:(

So many Marines have been wasted on lost causes..........

I realize that a lot of folks have no choice .... but I would never store our RV out in the sun for weeks/months/years at a time. Nor would I buy a used one that I had any idea had been stored this way. The sun's UV rays are a killer and they do irreversible damage .... plus, how about the tremendous heat buildup in the interior in a sealed up RV stored out in the summer sun?

We store ours outside, but with about 75% of it under the shade of a large oak tree and with it parked so that it's areas most vulnerable to UV damage (the cabover window and it's seals, as well as the whole cabover section) are always shaded by the tree. We would not have spend our hard earned dollars for an RV if we would have had to leave it stored out in the sun 24/7. RV leaks are our worst nightmare and UV rays are terrible on sealants over the long run.

Announcement El Toro Shuts Out 2200 RV Spaces Here

Are you the one who likes to post this Gee Whiz everywhere?..:R

It's OLD news..:S

Doesn't apply to anyone - *except* those who store RVs and other "stuff" there.

If you kept anything there, you knew it was only *TEMPORARY* storage.

BTW - The former city of EL Toro has been Lake Forest for a lot of years.

Flying Bull RV storage is on what WAS the long defunct MCAS El Toro,
located in the Orange County, CA - city of *IRVINE*, all part of the "Great Park" development/s.
