Howdy Y'all!

I need some help, please. I am getting a great opportunity in Richmond Virginia. I am trying to find covered storage for our 40 ft Phaeton. Of course, my first priority (maybe 2nd after the fam) is to take care of the toys! At any rate, I am finding that everyone in this area seems to keep their rigs either a) in an open storage facility parking lot, b) at their homes, or c) ????? Can anyone please help? In TX and NY, we found covered storage pretty easily. Seems like Richmond is a challenge. PLEASE - Talk to me VA!

Thanks for the feedback! I talked to them at Happy Boxes today, but still have one issue - they don't have power (110) available at the storage spot. I need the power at my storage spot to run the residential refrigerator. Otherwise, we'll have to empty the refrigerator after we use the coach. It may be were we end up, but still trying to find alternatives in Richmond.

Hope you can find something. Covered storage in Richmond area is not easy to come by. Not sure why...... good luck.

Personally I'd empty the fridge, but you have AGS which you can use to start/stop the generator each day (if running generator restricted to certain hours) to charge the batteries if it's that important to you. Take it out periodically to fuel up. I upgraded to ARC-50 and BMK so that I trigger on State Of Charge, but you can use house battery voltage as your triggers (if can run generator any time).
