Title: Trailer parking Post by: ducFrank on May 07, 2013, 01:08:21 PM I just picked up a 6x10 and am looking for an inexpensive way to park it. I don't mind if it is out a ways as long as I have full access to it. I live in Arlington.
Anyone have suggestions or know of something? Title: Re: Trailer parking Post by: venomousr1993 on May 07, 2013, 06:43:05 PM It is a haul, but you can store it at my place. Bring your own security....this is the hood :-[

Title: Re: Trailer parking Post by: ducatiz on May 08, 2013, 07:25:24 AM People park their trailers on Rt 50 in Fairfax all the time. Chain the wheels and the hitch. Move it about every 2 weeks.

How long can they sit without issue? Or is 2 weeks that timeframe? Title: Re: Trailer parking Post by: ducatiz on May 08, 2013, 08:59:17 AM How long can they sit without issue? Or is 2 weeks that timeframe? I said two weeks to be safe but there is a boat with flat tires sitting there for the last month. RT 50 near Fairfax circle/Nutley area west of 495. There is a service road near some apartments.

Fairfax county doesn't list any time restrictions for parking in residential areas... flat tires however could be considered an abandoned vehicle. Interesting.... Title: Re: Trailer parking Post by: 1stduc on May 08, 2013, 09:39:31 AM It depends on the hood I guess, I had a brand new trailer in front of my folks place somebody called and complained I had to move it to the driveway. FFX County for ya!

The boot locks ^^^ are nice, and definitely a big-ass coupler lock.
Just for giggles I'd get one of those motion alarms too. It will at least keep kids away.
