I have a heated barn that is a great place to store it for the winter.  there isn't any animals and it has a wooden floor.  She stays nice and comfy.

We used to put the PU in the driveway, then in the backyard with a breathable cover.  Now that we own a HTT, we rented a spot in Bull Run Park and it sits in the secure parking lot on gravel.

Sounds better than my house!  Can I move in??  LOL

I rent a spot at a "sort of" local storage facility.  For destinations north, it's enroute.  For all others I have to go pick Roamie up and then backtrack.  That'll be how it is until I get a spot clear in the backyard and the gate operable.

It is better than my house.  My grandfather built all the barns on our farm.  He definitely took care of them better than the house.  This particular barn was the last one he built, he was in his late 70's and did it all by himself.  He used it for his Lionel train collection.  The upstairs of the barn was all laid out with track and trains.  Anyway, you knew where his priorities were. 🙂

That's having it extra close, Thingette.  Almost counts as camping.

I can put it almost all the way up when it's in the garage. Just can't secure the bunkend poles in because the roof isn't all the way up.

Mine sits on the side of my house with cement blocks under the tires, other than covering the tires and being winterized its parked no different than the rest of the year.

That mine is a great way to store stuff! I especially like the no winterizing part...

There's a place not too far from us that offers storage in some unused poultry houses (very well cleaned, from the looks of it) at very reasonable rates. The only problem is that they put the boats and campers in and take them out in March & April. You can't access them once they're in and can't get them out before the scheduled date. I guess they pack 'em in as tight as possible.

Ours overwinters in the same spot it spends the rest of the year, right behind the house on gravel with cement pads under the tires. The tires get covered and it gets tarped after it's winterized, but no difference otherwise.
