I kept our trailer in an outdoor space at a nearby storage
facility for the first few months until a space under a roof
opened up. The rent went from $65 to $95/month, not unreasonable.
When we moved to Omaha in July I really wanted a house that had a
garage that could accomodate it. The options that fit our other
criteria hard third car garage that either had a ceiling that was
too low, or were not long enough. So I settled for a Public
Storage space that's behid a bay door. It was $150/month with the
second month free, so pretty reasonable. They are raising it to
$200/month soon, and I may be looking for other options. One
other plus is that there's a 120 V outlet inside so I can power a
few things in the trailer directly from that.
