    What sort of storage facility do you use? I couldn't find much commercial storage around Baltimore that would work but lucked out that a good friend has a large garage that she's renting out to me ($150/month). Ben

    Congratulations! Looks like you made it home, and either were lucky enough to time the travel between storms on dry roads, or did a nice job getting the road salt/grime cleaned off quickly. Enjoy!

    I found a local self storage facility that rented me a 10 by 20 space for $102/ month. No electricity so in the winter the battery will need to come out and I'll have to get the tires off the concrete.

    Without a sink, I don't really have to winterize mine however I haven't thought about the tires. Why do they need to come up off the concrete? Thanks. Ben

    Ben, I cannot seem to find where I saw that one should lift the tires off of cold concrete. But the basic point was that it would potentially wear out or dry rot the tires sooner due to moisture coming up through the floor and sitting in one spot for an extended period.

    I wonder if topping it off once a month or so with a portable "solar generator" would do the trick. I think it's a bit misleading calling it a "generator" (really just a fancy lithium battery with 120 converter) but might serve well for this purpose. I bought this one last summer along with a 100 watt panel mostly just to keep all of my electronics charged while camping but it was also useful recently when the nor'easter knocked out our power. I don't rely too heavily on my house battery (mostly just the fantastic fan and minimal usage of the lights) but it could also serve to recharge the house battery while boon-docking in the shade, assuming you can find at least a sliver of sun to place the panels to recharge the "generator".

    I am planning on adding some shelves so I can give it the companionship of cast iron pots :D
