If you own an RV you already know that, unlike the relative simplicity of camping, both storing and parking it can be a major hassle. An RV is very large and obviously needs its own dedicated space to park and store when you are not using it for an extended period of time.

Most of the time RV’s are only used for a weekend here or a week there, so the question of where to keep it safely when you are not using it comes up frequently.

Where, oh Where

Some RV owners are fortunate enough to have a large backyard or driveway, but others are limited to storing it on their lawn or in front of their home - choices that few neighbors appreciate!

One option for these people is to store their RV at a recreational vehicle park. Many of the parks available for camping and traveling while on vacation also have storage for unused RV’s that simply take up a lot of space at your home.

Bear in mind that you are basically paying the same price as if you were using your RV at the time, so you need to have a very large budget to keep up with the price of storing it at the park.

RV Lots

For a more inexpensive option, you may want to look into storing it at a self storage area made specifically for recreational vehicles. You can rent these self storage units for your RV by the month.

Not only is this relatively inexpensive, but it keeps the RV safe from theft, vandalism, and weather elements. Doing so allows you the freedom to retrieve the RV any time you wish with minimal effort. Keeping your RV in a self storage area is one of the best choices for extended periods of non-use.

Back to Home

Finally you do have the option of storing the RV on your own property. Again, though most people do not prefer this unless they have a lot of excess room, it can be done if you run out of other viable options.

You might even consider building a garage specifically for your RV to keep it safe from the weather and out of harms way, or instead you could simply park it in your yard if your neighborhood has no covenants or other restrictions forbidding it.

Consider Your Neighbors

Even without covenant restrictions, you should consider housing value in your neighborhood and neighbor impressions before using your property as an RV storage site.

An RV can seldom be parked on the street for longer than 72 hours on average, but your city may have different policies. Either way, you should check with your town ordinance to see where and how close to the street it can be parked and if there are any set rules limiting RV storage.

The best storage for your RV is the storage that keeps it safe and away from any dangers such as theft, weather, and vandalism.

When I was five years old my brother took me horseback riding to this really nice ranch that my grandfather used to own. I remember that we used to go down to the ranch every summer and help my grandfather clean his western saddles. He would give us a dollar for every saddle that we cleaned and he had plenty to keep us busy all summer. As I got older I remember that we go more into school and into our friends so we just stopped going. I miss the ranch very much and I am hoping to buy one some day so that my kids will have the same experience I did.

I can’t wait for Winter to end and Spring to begin. The new season brings with it the air of celebration. First, there is Easter, which which is a holiday at the beginning of spring. But there are also graduations, confirmations, weddings, birthdays, and Mothers and Fathers Day. Spring also makes one feel like celebrating even if there is no specific occasion. There are cookouts and casual get togethers in our neighborhood when the weather warms.

Of course all this great stuff comes with one drawback Most of these events require us to give a present. And it can’t be just any old present, it needs to be an interesting present that we can be proud of. Because it’s Spring I love to focus on bright and uplifting awesome gift ideas personalized. Generally I prefer something that speaks to my love of nature, my zest for life.

If you are looking for a present for a spring wedding, and the new couple is starting a new home together, they could probably use some items to make the outside of their home as cheery as their outlook on their new life together. Some hand held garden tools such as a trowel and gardening glovereally would make housewarming gifts anyone would really like. Maybe the couple isn’t the gardening type, but all couples will likely find themselves entertaining guests. as cheery as their outlook on their new life together, inexpensive plastic ware, such as plates, tumblers, pitchers, and serving dishes can be added to a picnic basket or table cloth to inspire that outdoor barbecue.

I have a son who has recently graduated from college. He really likes to golf so for him, great graduation gift ideas with an outdoor theme would address his passion for the sport. While he’d love the newest driver, even a nice towel for his bag would be a special treat. As a young man, when he’s outdoors he always brings his ipod so getting him a nice ipod holder to securely hold the ipod would be much appreciated.

I have a young daughter who can’t wait for school to be over each spring. Then she spends many days laying in the sun by the pool. During the late spring and early summer we seem to have endless birthday parties to go to and finding a great present can be a challenge. But some of the old standbys still work like an old fashioned hula hoop or frisbee. Of course there are the video games and I admit I break down sometimes even if that has no outdoor use.

As I’ve gotten older I find I love spring more and more each year. The newness of the flowers and the vibrant color of the pale greens is such a joy after the cold and brown tones of winter. Enjoy your spring this year - it will be the best present of all.
