Changed Storage Facility - What Direction Should I Park?

[thirtydaZe]

After 7-8 years of being in the same storage loaction (multiple campers), I found myself recently wondering how long the place would actually stay open with the city bearing down all around it.

I made an offensive decesion and moved to a place i've been eyeing for a couple of years. I got what i consider to be a great spot, it's on an end, and it's pull through from either direction.

Ok, the parking stall runs north and south, with a long line of campers parked to the west of me, and wide open space to the east of me. There's no tree cover around the lot except to the extreme west by the entry way.

Does it matter what way i decide to park? Like do i want my door and canopy facing the east with little protection, or am i best pulling in from the north and keeping my door facing the other parked campers?

I thought about it in bed for a while last night, and while it may not make a lick of difference, i thought some may have an opinion.

Not to be biased, but I am so thankful I can keep my camper at my house under an RV Port.
I would say like the others I would want my slides to the side that I can them open the most and not have to worry about crawling under them it the need arises.

I would prefer to have the street side with the most sun exposure.

I agree with Drew - if you have a slide, I'd put it on the open side so you can extend it without worrying about hitting or infringing on the trailer next to you. My trailer sits in the blistering Nevada sun; exposed on the west side, 6ft fence on the east side. I haven't noticed any difference in the fiberglass from the exposure to the sun.

Door to East for easier access and loading. Plus it maybe abit more secure from tampering. Southern sun heating living area may be a concern if you have a large rear window.

You might park whichever direction allows the best access to your batteries for a jump start in case they should ever go dead on you.

I would put the door on the outside so I have easier access. Possible exception: if having the door to the inside allows you to slide out a slide (temporarily) into the open area at the end, that could be a very handy advantage.

I don't think it makes any significant difference on the life of the RV; after all, one side is going to be a little more exposed regardless, so what you gain on one hand you lose on the other (and vice-versa the other way around). Maybe the excessively diligent would occasionally turn the rig around end for end to keep the UV exposure more or less equal...but not I.
