By this logic, I should be storing my house inside.

I agree, indoor storage would be nice, but the trailer is meant to be used outside... it'll be fine stored outside. Millions of Airstreams have done it and survive just fine.

Our unit is stored under roof at a nearby RV storage facility. The original space was 10 x 41 but the adjoining trailer crowded the divider line and I could not open the rear door. I could not move the trailer over far enough to the other side of my space to get the door open. I upgraded to a 12 x 55 space. The access issue is resolved.

At the back of the space along side a massive Motor Home, no direct sunlight will hit the trailer. That will keep the curtains and plastic parts on the roof from absorbing UV damaging light.
