Looks like I have to get creative. I'll try keeping it in my  driveway and see how long it takes the zoning code enforcer to catch me.  $140 a month is simply out of the question.

If you make it a year before getting busted, the next year is effectively free.  Clap

I see you are a teacher, my wife is too.  She has done 4-yo through 2nd grade and right now is enjoying teaching the young-uns.

Put it on your lawn and tell them it's a Gnome condo!

We will be paying $450 a year to store ours. They pull the units out in front for pick up, and when we drop it off, they park it. Just have to call the day before for pick up,and just walk in to drop off. But we figure that 38 a month is better than some kid tagging it!
Ready to pod around!

I guess I am lucky here. I live in Bowmanville Ontario and the regulations allow parking the trailer in my driveway. The only stipulation is that it has to be a side yard application which means that the driveway extends between the two houses to the back yard. No trailers are allowed to be parked in the driveway if it would be in front of the house. There are still trailers in front of homes but they are "Grandfathered" which means that they were parking there before the new law came into effect about three years ago.

Kansas City is blessed with many underground sites for storage that were once limestone quarrys. With the sometimes harsh winters, ice storms, high winds/tornados we experience from time to time, the caves are a secure, dry, temperature controlled, weather proof facility. $55/month on 12 month contract, 66/month for shorter time. Access is easy, basically daylight hours except Sunday, for other times, they will bring the r-pod out and leave it in a watchman guarded lot and can be picked up with personal PIN, anytime night or day. The facility is 20 minutes away, so not a big issue for the protection and peace of mind.

That's sounds cool, underground in a cave. Do you have any pictures?

No pictures, but it is an awesome place to see, size of 4 football fields, and currently holding over 1400 various types of RV's, cars, boats, etc. http://www.innerspacestorage.com/general_information_rv.htm
This is only one of several underground storage and manufacturing facilities in the area.
