- IvylogExplorer IIII keep my DP in my house.

- MerrykaliaExplorer IIOur fifth wheel sits right beside the house and during the "off-season", we use it to store Christmas gifts so the girls can't find them in the house, extra storage space for whatever. It's great to be able to pack it up, do mods, unload it at my leisure, with it right here. We installed an electric, satellite and water hookup several years ago and now it is our guest house when family and friends come to stay.
- samsontdogExplorerI keep the TT under metal carport which is enclosed and the MH under another metal carport at my Home
- tbredExplorer IIGravel pad next to detached garage.
- JbrowlandExplorerI pay to store it in a gated RV storage facilty. Pretty basic. Security, dump station, not covered, office on site. It is about 20 miles from my home. That makes it cheaper than storing in the Los Angeles metro area. I live in a town home so I don't have a yard. City dwelling and weekend camping to escape the city. :)
- spoon059Explorer IIThankfully I have the luxury of parking it at home. Hoping the new, longer trailer will fit up our driveway though! We have a pretty narrow street and a narrow, steep uphill driveway to back up. Then I have to swing it wide to avoid the carport and get it back behind the house.
With the new trailer we are most likely buying a metal roof carport to store it under. - RoyBExplorer IIMy 5th wheel is more or less permanently parked at home - Don't even have a way to pull it any more with my Truck - makes for second home and we spend nights in it when we have the chance... Fridge and cabinets are extra storage places for the house. Kids have fun here spending the nights here in it...
My OFF-ROAD POPUP is also kept here at the house and I have a neat camp ground setup in the back yard next to the woods line.
I get to do all of my mods and play with things before going camping on the road...
Spend alot of late afternoons and early evenings sitting around a good ole bond fire in my Camp Backyard....
Fortunate for us the county allows us to park our RV's at home here...
My POPUP trailer being setup for camping off the power grid has been a nice emergency power source for the house whenever we have extended power failures. Just run a couple of extension cords into the house from the trailer to keep things going where needed.
Roy Ken - dspencerExplorerDue to HOA rules I can only have ours home in the driveway for a couple of days when getting ready to leave on a trip. We keep ours in an enclosed 12 x 35 storage unit which works out great.
- nbrunoExplorerPark at an indoor RV and boat storage facility. Heated in the winter to 50 degrees so I dont need to winterize which is a huge benefit since I use the RV year round. I drop it off, they wash it, clean inside, empty water tanks, air up tires, run generator weekly, run engine weekly, fill propane and water when picking up, they'll even fill the gas tank. Only thing they dont do is empty waste and grey tanks.
- FlapperExplorerDealers storage facility about 15 mi. away, normally. We do keep it in the drive for prolonged periods when we will be doing shorter trips and/or have need to to some kind of other prep or repair.
