Got tired of storing the TT
After 7 years of owning TTs and being forced to pay to store it somewhere because the city doesn't allow parking of RVs in driveways, I decided it was enough!
Purchased a new house, in a rural suburb 5 minutes away from my current house). 1.5acre lot should be enough of land to park the 28BHBE
Can't wait for Spring when we move into the new place!

Hope to do the same someday! Storage fees here in Orange County, Ca. are insane.

That's great. We have the benefit of keeping the trailer at home and having it close and plugged in is great and makes packing a snap. Fridge stays on all summer with all the condiment and non spoiling stuff in it.
I'm assuming that you don't have to worry about ordinances prohibiting parking your rv on your property?

You are one of the fortunate ones. If my rig were not on my property when idle, I don't know what I would do.
It is my job, hobby and mancave.

Really, we don't allow it? Imagine that, I've been parking mine in the driveway for the summer for years now, and never knew; stored it at my mom's place for the winter. There are tons of driveway parkers in our east end Ottawa neighborhood year round. I have one neighbor who leaves his parked on the street most of the summer; now THAT I find a bit annoying.

Just sold my house and will be looking for property that will allow me to spread out a little. I will be staying at an RV park in the meanwhile. $450\month including electricity and 50amp service. The RV will have a new home and so will I.

Congratulations.
We deal with the storage issue also and it's a pain.
Good luck with the move.

You're going to love having your RV at home. I had Quicken tally up all my storage charges for the 14 years before I moved the TT to our Home Base. It came to over $6,000.00.

$6000 for 14 years? That's a bargain in these parts. I just tallied up what ours would be after 14 years and it was $21,000! Could buy a whole other trailer!

One of the perks from living here in crabland, no storage fees for boats or the Jayco, no water or sewage bills. Like norty I like having my stuff closeby so I can tinker on it. But I realize that`s just not possible with many scenarios.

Congrats! Sounds like a win/win. But the humorist in me must point out that the storage costs are probably cheaper. LOL!

I can see not allowing the RV to be parked in a public street, but not allowed in your own driveway on your own property? That stinks!

It's a double edge sword living in an HOA community. If they allowed it and everyone did it it would look horrible. In the areas around us that allow it you have the good clean ones mixed in with the old run down ones and it actually brings down property values.

Ah.. HOA. That explains it. I thought it was the city/town that had a law.

I live in a sub division with 200 homes. We have nothing preventing parking anywhere as long as it is off the roadway.
Including my rig, there are 3 others rv's.
