Where do you park your AS when not in use?
We all know how much fun traveling and camping in the AS can be. I'm just curious where folks park their AS when not in use. Do you park it at home? At a friend's house? Do you pay a storage facility? How much if you don't mind me asking? Parked in your driveway. (I wish I had the space to park my 25' at home, so I have to pay for a boat and RV facility about 30 miles from my home. Covered roof or open. Plugged in to power? ETC.

At the end of the driveway in our back yard - behind a fence/gate

Did the storage facility for a while then had a pad poured next to my driveway. Park it there, uncovered. Just plug it in a week before a trip( I had a RV30 installed inside the garage).

I work from home. Sometimes I park it outside my office window. I like looking at it. Sometimes I leave it beside the garage and close to the compressor. I hope to have a shop to park in eventually.

In a metal (R-Panel) covered and lowered sides car/AS port next to our house. It has a 30 & 50 amp RV service box and a sewer connection available. The sides are lowered to within 2' of the ground because strong storms can bring hail in almost sideways and also shades the side from the sun. Up until this year I'd say hail and sun were the biggest issues to protect the AS from but after the freeze I may rethink some additional measures. The 'back' is the wall with a door to my shop/laundry room.

At home, we have a 24' x 36' pole covered pole barn behind our house that we park the AS under. The sides are open so its not completely enclosed but it does keep the rain and the majority of the sun off. I installed a 30AM outlet on it and I have water there also . Only thing I am missing is a small septic tank of sorts so I can dump after a trip, but hoping to get that done someday. I leave it plugged in all the time , with batteries on store mode and it maintains a charge at 13.2v

At home next to the house at the end of the driveway behind the fence. Plugged in to a standard wall outlet as we're just powering lights and fridge. We realize we're fortunate as we have no hoa. We actually bought a new house in order to accommodate our Airstream habit. Hope to build a shop / garage soon.

Well, if you are in a urban area (non HOA)+ your neighbors don't mind, a long driveway is easy way to go.But, let's face it,these things look like a big propane tank.Industrial look.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder....

Another with the trailer in the driveway. It's sitting about 15 feet from where I am writing this. 30 amp power, water, and a sewer connection make it a spare bedroom for guests. It will return to that function after the pandemic subsides!

I really like the look of this setup. Can we see a few more pictures?

Where do you park your AS when not in use?
Parked in the driveway. Sewer, water, and 30 amp power just inside the garage door behind it if needed. Solar panels keep the batteries charged properly. Always ready to go on short notice.

We park two of our trailers at home under a double carport. The 3rd spot is at family property where we wanted a 'location'

Her are a few. I have a circular driveway so I only need to back it up a few feet. The structure was a kit from Steelmaster of Canada.

We can't have ours at our house. So we pay $195/mo. for an enclosed storage unit. 15amp so it is always plugged in (ours has a multi-stage charger). Storage place has a dump station we can use for no extra fee.

I park mine at a storage facility. Our HOA won't allow for a car to be parked in the driveway, much less a travel trailer.
