Is your new van a twin axle and longer than your Avondale ?
There is a site on the Hawick to Denholm road that does storage , I think its called Riverside Touring Park and there also used to be somewhere in Hawick down near the Water treatment works that also does storage

hi,

Don't know if they still do storage, but we used to have our caravan sited at Jedwater Caravan park, and they used to do storage there.  It might be worth a try. Owner is Neil Gibson, give him a ring.

Mrs Skippy, did you ever find suitable storage in/near Galashiels? We're looking to buy a van but we've nowhere to store, so if we can't sort out storage first, no van for us.

Hi Carole,

Thanks for your reply.

We had a look at that place. It's got an open gate, no security, no CCTV, unmanned, a low fence around the perimeter and by their own admission, they have teenagers coming in and breaking into vans from time to time.

Shame really as it would have been ideal, but there's no way I'm leaving a brand new £20k van with them.

A.
