11% increase in storage costs

Why are you keeping a motorhome in storage? if I had a motorhome I would just park it down the road. I definetly wouldn't be paying anything like £500 a year for storage. 

I currently pay £3 a week (£156 a year) and I wouldn't want to be paying much more than that.

Wouldn't that depend on if you had anywhere at home to put it? If we switch to a Motorhome it will certainly be kept in storage. Ours is a similar cost, however if I have just spent £60K on a vehicle, I would not want to "just park it down the road".

Much my thoughts as well. Not convionced that I could get a moyor home into the drive. A 7.3m shipping length caravan would be do-able but not much longer than that. 7m motorhome would be tight due fooway and road widths 

Steve L has hit the nail on the head. Can't keep it on the road otherwise would block peoples drives and motorhomes parked on roads are sometimes targeted by thieves and vandals, hence the higher insurance premiums for parking on a public road.

I wish our storage cost were the same as some of you state.

In London prices are very high, we are using a COSSA gold site at the moment.(will move if we find cheaper) which is £550 for 6 months. It has lots of facilites like most storage under cover ,EHU's , chemical waste point, Caravan washing bay with pressure washer, high steps, etc but still a lot of money

The site is full though and has as many MH's as Caravan's stored there and has a waiting list, which we are on to get an under cover bay. 

You may think its a lot of money, but where we live a lockup garage rents for £150-£220 a month

The joys of living in London and the southeast . As I posted earlier ours up 20% this year, asked questions via email but size of the increase question ignored, others all answered fully. Thankfully still not as high as yours. Yes we could move it but its close to home and there's a shortage of storage locally so put up and shut up! 

And as well as the high cost we have an 18 mile trip across South London which takes well over an hour just to go to the Caravan, as you say there is not a lot you can do if you don't have the space at home.

 

Our caravan storage is on a cc site 3miles from us its £600 next year,up from £585 this year,and there are spaces but not for todays "normal" size vans, the site staff have in the last two years tried to make more space by asking us all if we would take "smaller" "pitches,but they have had a lot of resistance from some,,there has been a new  updated washdown area built this year,

One of the main reasons we do not want to move, we have plenty of space on the driveway for an up to 8m van.  Would not have come back to caravanning if we could not have the van at home.  

There is farm storage nearby, but much more convenient to have the van right outside.

Like AD, we ask the neighbours to use the drive while we are away, and our second car is there too.
