I have a 2003 AT
I could really a do with the input of anyone with experience in this one.

'Til now I was always under the I pression that long-term storage on grass is a no-no. Problem I have is that it may be the only option I have at the minute. Does it accelerate deterioration of the chasis?

Thanks in anticipation.

I would avoid storing on grass if possible
More chance of visits from mice etc
If the weather is wet how soft will the ground get?
If you have no choice I would set some traps

Well,the grass probably means more damp than hard standing,which can’t be good.

Do you have the option to keep the grass very short? Or maybe some Round Up might find it’s way to that area.;););)

Or you could put some plastic sheet down to stop any growth,with gravel or hardcore on top.

If it’s only for a short period it won’t be a problem.........we all park on grass on sites,after all.

The grass will die back within a fortnight due to lack of light, you could park the tyres on planks to keep them from sinking

Thanks folks
Might just have to suck it up for a few months. Not in a position to modify the ground.

Thanks again
