Storage?

[Spur]

Where do you guys keep your TT? Fully enclosed (probably not), outside under a roof somewhere or just outside in the sun? I live in Texas so the sun eats everything left unprotected so I'm looking to,store outside under a cover somewhere.

We store ours under a steel free-standing cover that also shelters a bass boat. Since getting the new JayFlight we've added tire covers since the sun still gets under there.

In my driveway next to my house. Here in the Vancouver area sun isn't an issue but I would like to get a cover to keep the rain off.

Hey Spur,
Unfortunately ours sits in the elements and the nose cap is suffering as a result. Lots of folks with that issue tho and Jayco seems to be stepping up with a repaint pretty well. Plan to take it in for that sometime this fall. Looked into an enclosed storage and couldn't justify the high monthly cost.

I keep mine under a pole barn at a big RV Storage lot along with about 140 other RV's from pop ups to Class A's. Pretty well a "must do" here in West Texas

I really don't have the room at my house so I didn't have a choice but to store it some place else. My choices were about 10 miles a way and outside at a relative's or at a indoor storage place about 1/2 mile away. My monthly fee is well worth having it close and out of the elements.

Fully enclosed shop building...dark and rodent-free!!

Next to the house with full hook-up and I cover the roof with a tarp to protect it from tree sap. It's in full shade for most of the year.

Had a clearing contractor out last week for an estimate to clear a spot by the house for a gravel parking pad. We hope to have the work done before we pick up our new Greyhawk 31FK in two weeks. Our intent is to then erect a metal carport structure over the gravel pad to shade the motorhome.

Mine is kept in my driveway year round. I have no other choice. It's full sun all day so I keep it covered with a breathable cover. In the winter I also add a tarp to keep the snow off it. Yes, I know. Not supposed to cover it with a tarp but I do. Have been for the past three years now and since the AC and other roof vent give it room to breathe I haven't had a problem yet.

[RickAE]

We keep ours in our back yard. The sun is a factor here in Ga. so when ever it is not in use, Peggy and I keep our White Hawk under a breathable cover. When we get home from one of our trips I clean the exterior and cover it. Uncover the day before our next trip, to get it ready to go. I would like to get a metal car port instead of the cover, but right now the cover is the best we can do.

[Danmer]

Ours is next to the house connected to power but not covered. I would like to know where can I get the breathable cover. I would love to have it under a metal car port but where we are the county regulations are very strict. Thank you for any info and have a great camping time.

Enclosed is ideal. Do you mind if I ask how much it is a month?

Currently it averages out to a little under $40 a month. It is a bit more in the winter and then less in the summer. Most of the trailers are pulled out in the summer. I think it is worth it to keep indoors.

Ours stays outside at our seasonal site year round and doesn't have a shade tree within 100 yards of us. We considered having a carport installed to cover our camper and deck, but to be wide enough (26') and long enough (52') they wanted right at $8000, plus probably another $1000 to have the ground brought to grade. Since we rent the site, we decided against that option. Figured we have had campers for nearly 25 years, have never kept them under cover and knock on wood, we have never had a roof problem. Don't get me wrong, I would love to keep it covered, but have to think they have built campers for many years, and the vast majority are going to be exposed to the elements most of their useful lives.

Wow, $40 what a deal! Hell yeah that's worth it. I don't think that I can find a 30'+ enclosed site for less than $200/month here in SA, TX. I hope I'm wrong.

DH built an metal RV port behind our gate which we park the TT and boat under. It is a 22' x 38' takes up the all the available space on the side of the house. We get very high winds in AZ so we needed to keep it pretty open but still be able to shade the toys. Our sun is brutal here. No way can we go with any bigger TT or other and still park it on the side of the house. We like having it close by.

The sun at our 9000' home is a killer, so I built a drive-through shed or barn for our camper. The tires sit on wooden planks. However, we now spend winter months in AZ, so it is exposed to desert sun about five months of the year.

Ours stays indoor when not in use. We have indoor storage (w/electric and water) down at the lake that we frequent. It's a 12x40 storage unit that costs $600 per year. Well worth it in my opinion.
