Ideally, I would prefer to park my trailer on the asphalt pad beside my garage, but I can't maneuver it into my gate, and there's no good solution for keeping it at home. I am parking the trailer at my friend's open lot, far away from any electrical source. Right now, the trailer has several inches of snow on the roof.
I removed the batteries so they wouldn't drain down or freeze in the Montana cold. The heated garage and trickle charger seemed to be the best preventative maintenance solution.
Our next house will have a dedicated RV pad with electrical, water and perhaps sewer hookups for long-term use and storage.
