Kelper.. I remembered reading you stored your camper in the Loire and when we got back I had a quick search to see where you stored it. Is it still at La Grande Michellerie? That's the cheapest place I've found since looking and it's in the area we like to head to, so it wouldn't be too far to drop off/pick up. Can I ask, what do you do about bedding? We are still using sleeping bags but I've considered changing to duvets and sheets for next year. Then I guess we just take dirty bedding home and pack it everytime we go on our main holiday?
We decided, in the end, to store at a place near Angers. It's much more modern and high security than the other ... and is only 185 euros a year.
For bedding we use a slightly quilted mattress cover, sheets and summer duvets.
We're lucky in having relations who live in the Charante ... so after the ladies have flown home from the nearest airport to our final camping site, I take the FC to the relations home and do a wash of all bed linen, towels etc ... some ironing, put everything into a large vacuum pack 'case' and pack it into the camper.
Then tow to storage ... drop off the FC and drive up to Cherbourg for the ferry.
It all works very smoothly and saves a lot on ferry charges, fuel costs and driving time.
One could do a mega wash etc at the final campsite and achieve the same scenario ... use sleeping bags for the last night?
Hope that helps.
If you want further information on the storage place, let me know and I'll e-mail you details. If you are interested in the other store ... Val A uses it at the moment, so she could provide you with details.
