Where Do You Store Your Truck Camper

Currently, I store my Camper on the driveway, but I am thinking of buying a small factory unit to store all my Goodies, maybe set it up as a workshop, with a dedicated blokes/men's area, pool table, dart board, Sorta home away from home.

What do you think, or what do you do?

  • The elements do take a big toll on the truck and camper.

    I chose an open sided carport... to close it in makes it look like a warehouse.

    The neighbors didn't fuss.

    For a look at my installationFor a look click here You'll get the 30 AMp and the carport instalation.

    Be sure and read the ongoing thread about the huge house addition, by NRA qualifier

    Best of luck... post pictures.
  • on the truck in my side yard. it never goes more than a few weeks without being used year round
  • I'm in the process of putting up a metal building to allow storage on/off the truck. We seem to leave the camper on the truck for weeks at a time and keeping both brand new truck/camper sitting in the relentless sun doesn't interest me. Spending almost half the cost of the camper on a building is dumb by some standards, but I figure that the camper will last us many more years if we take good care of it, along with better resale if we decide to upgrade.
  • I store mine outside in the HOA storage yard or at my father's yard.

    Advantage of the storage yard is no trees to worry about and it is 3 minutes from my house so I can be on the road in under an hour. Disadvantage is there are 400+ people with access and some bloke can back into it.

    My father's place has trees to worry about, isn't protected by a gate, and is 40 minutes each way. Big advantage though is it has power, water, and dump location.

    But preferred location would be in a warmed building with full hookups. Just waiting on retirement so I can move where I can have enough land.
  • I added two covered bays to my shop building and store my Class A and my Lance camper.

    My Dad did not believe in keeping things outside uncovered. I am trying to follow his teaching and passing that philosophy down to my son and grandsons.

    Various areas of the country have differing environments and therefore different reasons for protecting your goods.
  • Currently in the driveway. By this winter, the plan is to have one of those metal car ports up for more protection from the elements located just off the drive way.
