Aussie Eric Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 Hi All, Gail and I are Australians and have recently purchased a 2011 Windsport 31D in New Haven, Connecticut, we have headed south as fast as we could for warmer weather and are now in southern Florida. We intend to spend about 6 months a year touring the US and Canada, then leave the Windsport in storage and head back to Australia. We are booked to fly out of Fort Lauderdale on the 14th January to LA, then back to OZ, all the Commercial storage yards and RV parks that have storage seem to be full at this time of the year. Would any member in the Ft Lauderdale area, with enough space to park our Windsport, be interested in earning a few dollars for 6-8 weeks from the 14th January. No problem if you are out of the Fort Lauderdale area, we are happy to catch a Taxi or Bus to the airport. Any help appreciated, our email is ericgail@bigpond.net.au, you can send us your phone number and we can call you to discuss.RegardsEric and Gail Greenwood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rstrahan Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 Have you checked with the RV parks in the Ft Lauderdale area? Many have storage sites for short term storage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray,IN Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 Just a thought. I wonder if an RV dealership would store it for that time period. 2000 Winnebago Ultimate Freedom USQ40JD, ISC 8.3 Cummins 350, Spartan MM Chassis. USA IN 1SG retired;Good Sam Life member,FMCA ."

JC and Angie Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 If you needed some repairs on your coach, a repair shop would be more interested in storing it. 2009 Volvo 780.

lappir Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 Outside storage areas are all over South Florida. I cannot imagine they are all full. One thing to be sure that you do is remove any and all food items and consider the storage area carefully. I put my Mini Cooper in a Park storage area for less than a month. It was covered with a good quality car cover and I thought very safe and secure. When I removed the cover I found that a colony of Ant's had decided to make a home in the car. Took me weeks to eliminate. Another option is to contact the owners of some of the Equestrian facilities in the Western communities they often have lots of room and always need "Hay Money". Check the ads for stalls for rent and contact. Nice thing about those places is there is a lot of activity this time of the year someone is almost always coming and going. My experience is most are very honest and responsible.

Aussie Eric Posted January 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 Thanks Rod, Just looking at Craigslist now, place not to far from airport, will ring today. Good tip about Equestrian, will follow that up. Some of the storage places have said check back when nearer the time, we fly out on the 14th Jan so will ring around again closer to then. We use Borax and honey mixed together for the ants, works well Regards Eric Outside storage areas are all over South Florida. I cannot imagine they are all full.

folivier Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 If you can't find anyplace close enough for a taxi you could always use a rental car and drop it off at the airport. Just realize that at some/most airports you'll have to walk against traffic to get to the departure area. Good idea on the ants.

Biker56 Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 I recently had a base plate installed & wiring done at a place real close to the airport. They did have a few storage spots inside a gated area. Not sure if they have any room.
