Dipping our toes into snow bird with TT

[JeffnEmJay]

Hubby and I are planning to do a TT with two dogs, going to Gulf Shores/Mobile Bay area for 3 months (Jan thru March, into April). We have not yet purchased a TT, but we are hoping to buy it in the area, have it setup for us, and have it stored in the area. We've been researching TTrailers, RV Parks, including State parks, and Storage/hauling services.
So.. we are wondering- are their good sites available? Are their storage spots available? Are there services that will setup 1-2 days before we arrive, then move to storage 1-2 days after we leave?? andybody else doing this??- surely we are NOT the only ones with this plan....
We live in Ohio, would be driving down with a SMALL trailer attached to our SUV...
Any advice/ resources would be SOOO appreciated!:@

Could you explain why? Was it the weather, the people, the being away from home? And where was it you did your snowbirding?

Also check the CG's policy on dogs. There are many new CG rules in place as to the size and breed of dogs allowed in CG's.

Just a heads up for you.

Indeed not but it gets the OP thinking about their plan.

I would suspect it's going to get wet. Are you implying that a storage facility should evacuate all RVs on the premises?

I suggest you call Anchors Aweigh campground
at Foley AL and discuss this. I believe they
provide such services. Foley is about 15 miles
north of Gulf Shores.

Don't know about Alabama but here in FL, some RV parks have on site RV storage and will move units on and off sites for you. State parks will normally limit the length of your stay during peak season.

But, since your new TT will never leave the area, why not just get a park model?
