How about renting a garage from the local council/housing association? Katie rents a garage very cheaply.

We stored our TT at a caravan storage place, just outside of Sc**thorpe, last year when we bought it. Cost £300 a year (we paid half that until Christmas. Other places ner by were £180 a year and £240. One had no spaces the other was too far away and would add travelling time on if going away for a weekend.

One bad point was we had to go and check it on a regular basis as it kept blowing over and meant hubby had to keep going to put it upright again. Main downside for us was that we realised after the first time of using we needed to dry it when wet (I know should have bought a Dandy before certain people mention this lol) and sorted out a way of getting it into our garden and decided that as we might have to do this on a regular basis it was pointless paying to store it else where.

Outdoor storage charges are daylight robbery - Had you considered renting a garage to store it in? It can be cheaper if you know someone with a garage who does'nt have a car, like two elderly lady neighbours of mine who rent their garages out. Its attended storage and undercover  away from the elements too. If they have a garage they may have a drive too which they might let you open up on to dry out if returning  home wet. One word of caution though! if thinking about renting a garage to store it in be sure to check the width of camper against width of garage door APERTURE and overall  internal legnth too allowing a couple of inches all round.

Daft it may seem but some  garages in new houses are built subtly smaller than older counterparts. Our Sterling won't fit in ours although a small car will.
