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?

People park their trailers on Rt 50 in Fairfax all the time.  Chain the wheels and the hitch.  Move it about every 2 weeks.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

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....

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.
