chicago storage more

I've been out driving looking for opportunities. I did locate a few last weekend. I'm now trying to determine costs. These were located in fully enclosed warehouse type spaces that were easy to access from several major roadways.

This weekend I was back in Texas. We took the family out for a long weekend in the airstream. Beautiful weather. Sunny and in the eighties. Even got to wear shorts and watch some college baseball.

Keep us posted on the indoor options, FishByFly. Winter is when I'd most need storage anyhow, (already having a spot during warm months) and a heated indoor winter home would be nothing short of spectacular.

I went out and looked at Crazylev's discovery in Palatine today. Looks pretty good, and priced well for what else is out there. Nice owner, too.

Here's another Chicago area option I found this weekend on Craigslist. Outdoors only, from what I gather.

In Northbrook, in a lot that backs up to the back of Home Depot.
Prices start at $60 a month for short trailers, up to $110 for large RV's.

You can PM me for the contact info, I don't want to post it here.
That is all!

Went out to my storage lot in Northbrook last night, and noticed I got a new AS neighbor within the last few weeks.

Anybody here storing up that way with a Safari LS? It looked great, and was my first opportunity to have a look at that bulky, over-engineered, incredibly well-built thing of beauty that is a Hensley hitch.

Brad,
That is our 30' Safari bunkhouse. Not sure if you checked out that Hensley hitch setup. Part of what looks so bulky is the fact that I leave my RockTamers connected when in storage. I can say it does pull rather nicely.

I followed up on this storage location based on your recommendation. In fact, I was out there this afternoon doing a bit of prep work for a future trip. I still would like to find enclosed winter storage. I keep seeing vacate warehouse space. Just need to find someone that is looking for a little monthly cash.

Thank you for this recommendation.
