Storage SW London/Surrey (1 Viewer)

[BMStewart2004]

We hope to make a purchase in the next few months and don't have space to store a van outside our Putney house. Any recommendations for storage in SW London or out into Surrey? We could look at long terming on a site but wouldn't feel to safe leaving it unattended in that way.
Cheers
Bill

Hi Bill.
Have you thought of having a swan around your area for somewhere local? It's easy to think 'Motorhome' or 'sites' rather than simply thinking secure parking.

The reason I say this is because it's easy to drive around and not see the potential of a parking spot. There are frequently places to permanently park behind shops or in a local secure garage compound, or where ordinary trade vans are parked. Also, anyone who has a piece of land adjacent to their house who would be willing to rent it out.

I realise that the density of London makes Motorhome ownership difficult, but this is not insurmountable. I know Putney quite well, as I used to live in Oakhill Road!!

The problem with storage a long way away (like Surrey) is obviously one of keeping your eye on the vehicle and loading it up. You can't keep valuables on the vehicle (like a TV and other nick-nacks) so you have to bring it all the way back home to load some equipment- not to mention food etc.

Another problem when a long way away is the batteries. You'd either need to give the van a frequent run, or fit a solar panel to keep the batt's topped up.

Hope all this helps?
Let us know how you get on

Regards
James

Hi
I keep mine at
Apps Court Farm in Walton. (Between Hampton Court and Walton)

Parking is secure behind a key pad gate. I pay £65 per month.
Parking is on grass at the mo but they are hoping to have a hard standing area available within the next year.

I don't know if there are any spaces available so please give them a call.
Very friendly and helpful people.

It could be a while until we get a van but if you could that would be great - many thanks!

Hello! I've just seen this and was wondering if you would mind sending me this at all please? We're rather desperately looking for somewhere to store our camper.
Thank you so much!
