What exactly should you expect from storage facilities?
We went to see our new caravan today, the day we took delivery of it it went straight into storage and today was the first opportunity we've had since then to go and check on it, this was at the end of October.
To say I'm a little concerned is an understatement, but I want to make sure I'm not worrying over something that is actually considered normal.
We use a storage provider that is a working farm normally and small caravan site. They store caravans in the barns and have a large quantity of stored caravans on site spread over a number of outbuildings/barns.
These caravans are crammed in. We called and gave notice that we were coming to access our caravan, check it over and give it an airing. When we got there the vans were so tightly crammed in we couldn't get down the side to open the door, we were unable to check around the outside of the van and they hadn't wanted to move it as the vans were packed in for the winter months. It was covered in condensation and a horrible dirty grime, it looked a mess and considering this was new when it went into storage it's going to need a good clean when we do get it out! I am hoping like mad there is no external damage from movement of other vans and without being able to get into it can only hope the inside isn't a problem too. It has a wheel lock on too, but how they managed to put it on after moving it is baffling me and I hope they don't forget when it comes to moving it out - we had to push for it to be used in the first place!
We are trying to sort out an alternative but everywhere is full, but we have our names down on a few waiting lists. We were so pleased to have found storage at short notice, cheap and inside but it's nothing like what I had expected.
The van will come out in February as we're booked to go away in it, but I'm very worried in the meantime, I'm hoping an alternative storage site becomes available by then. Is this storage normal or should we be concerned?
