does anyone know of any good storage facilities in this area?

I have seen the cosoa site ones, any others around though?

If you find one, let me know as I am on the Cassoa site at Pepperstock, not good and expensive, but no other choice.

There is one at Clapham near Bedford, don't know what it's like though. We are lucky in that we have a large car park, keep the van there.

Found this one, but don't know anything about it.

Both of the sites listed are 30 miles away from Luton and as far as I am concerned 30 miles in the wrong direction,but thanks for the info.

Can I ask about the peperstock one? Pro's cons that kind of thing?

I'm Bedford side of Luton, so not as far for me.

The one I listed charge £250 for the year.

Hi.

The storage site at Pepperstock is basicly a field with a fence around it, there are no services provided ( No electric or washing facilities) There are flood lights and cameras which may or may not work. They certainly did not capture any images when my caravan along with a dozen others were broken into a couple of years ago. There is somebody living in the adjoining house, but I look in twice a week to check my van ( I live in Caddington so right on my doorstep ) and I very rarely see anyone there. I think the owner puts in an appearance on Saturdays if you want to have a look before you commit yourself.

Hi Hawk.

I would love to email you for the details of the Thorne road site, but you did not give an email address.

generalhawk - that storage location would be perfect for me as I live in Toddington.  if you could share them with me to too, that would be great.

Thanks

Good luck with the Thorn site but if you don't have any luck I'd just like to point at that there is someone living on the pepperstock site. He lives in a silver Airstream and there are washing facilities too ( a very long hose pipe). Don't know about any break ins. We've only been there just over a year. I agree with the tight spaces though.

Hi Alison.

There may well be someone living on the site, but as I said I visit the site twice a week most weeks that I am not away in the van and I can count on one hand the number of times I have seen any one there let alone anybody working or living there.

Yes there is a long hose pipe, but I would hardly call that "Washing facilities" especially as the vans are that close together you can not put a  step ladder up to do the roof.  The last two times I have been away, I have returned to find another van in my slot. Not the best way to enhance customer satisfaction. Yes It was sorted, but it is just another symptom of the "I'm only in it for the money" attitude of the present owner.
