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?
It is a haul, but you can store it at my place. Bring your own security....this is the hood :-[

Where are you located?
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?

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....
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!
There are a trailer or two always parked on the street near my apartment. If you want to park here bring it by . I am in fairfax, behind fairoaks mall.
Thanks everyone! I think I found some street parking near my house.
Any security recommendations? I've got locks for the doors.

Yeah, lug locks and a chain on the wheels that loops the frame. 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.

well, i fixed mine so that it uses a car battery and energizes the metal surface of the vehicle while it's going off...

3 keyed pad locks... check
1 keyed coupler lock... check
wheel lock... won't that make it look like it should be towed?
Arlington will know their locks vs a prive one.
Oh! I have a Kryptonite NY chain sitting the in garage I could donate to the project - if it'll fit through the wheels. It's a beefy make the beast with two backser.
