A place for your Monty?
How many of you park your Monty on your own property? We are lucky in that respect. We live in a rural setting that is not incorperated or have any ordinances against rvs parked on your property. We do have friends that have to store theirs in storage. Thats one thing in favor of full timing.. Jack Fulling timing soon now.....

Jack-
We have 1-1/2 acres in a non-restricted area and have the Monty parked next to the garage. It also has it's own cover to keep the sun off as much as possible.

Jack, I started a thread similar to this a few months ago, and we truly have a mixed bag here at MOC! We park ours in the back yard on a gravel driveway.

We park ours right next to the house. No HOA in my development.

We have about 3/4 acre in the city but a rural setting.We are allowed to park along side the house as long as the front of the RV is behind the leading edge of the house, which it is.We poured a 40 foot by 12 foor extension to the existing driveway a few years ago so there is plenty of room for the new and larger fifth wheel. We also have a dump station as a result of the city discovering that some of the downspouts, on our street were connected into the sanitary sewer system, ours included so instead of correcting the problem we converted the side downspout into a dump station with the cities approval since what we are dumping is exactly what is supposed to go into the sanitary sewer. So we have the perfect setup.

We currently live in a townhome complex that barely has enough room for the vehicles that people can't park in their cluttered garages, so we rent a space in a RV storage/personal storage/wine storage yard. However, we'll be retiring to Prescott AZ in about 1-1/2 years and will buy into a development that will allow us to build an RV barn attached to the garage. Preliminary plans call for it to be 45' x 18' so there'll be plenty of room to open the slides inside if I need to do work without moving it outside. We wanted the enclosed barn so that we could insulate it and not worry about winterizing. Hopefully, we wont' be home often enough to worry about that!

We park ours in the drive way. We live in the city but have almost an acre and there is no restrictions. We are right at the edge of the city limits and it is urban. In the winter I store it in a building.

We have a seasonal site that is three hours closer to our grandson. On weekends when we're not traveling with the Montana, we drive over and invite the grandson and his parents up for the day. We can't park in our subdivision and this only costs slightly more than storage. We take the car over, so we cut the fuel costs significantly.

Ours is parked next to the house and is hooked up to a 30amp circuit. We are on two acres so it is no problem to have it here next to the house. Only wish I had a covered spot for it, but maybe in the future.

We are living in a rural area of Washington State ( on the Olympic Peninsula) and we have almost 3 acres. We park our 2980 and my daughter's 34' Cougar on cement slabs that we poured next to the oversized double carport. It is very nice to have it so close to the house for packing purposes.....

The only reason we are own the stick house we do is because it had room for RV parking. We love our previous house but it had no room for the 5er and we had the neighbor from hell that complained if the 5er was in front for even 2 hours. The house was on an incline so we couldn't get it in our driveway. So at this house it has a 3 car garage so bit driveway and we poured a new driveway for the 5er all along the side of the house into the back yard. Our previous unit fit fine but Monty is bigger so hangs over a bit because we wanted to go back far enough so we could get all the slides out. We have a separate 30 amp service and water. Sewer outlet is on the back and is about a 20 ft run but we can do it if we have to. We may upgrade to a 50 amp service. I can look out the window of my office and see Monty!
Happy trails.....................

We have a large back yard and that is where the Monty stays. No restrictions from the city. It is so nice to be able to work on the Monty when you want to. This week's project was to drop the underbelly and put insulation around the water lines and replace those plastic drain caps.

Jack,
We have a large back yard and with so many fir trees around us, a good part of it was (and still is) covered with needles. So the grass didn't grow well. So instead of fighting the yard, we paved a large section of it, about 1/3rd of it. (About 20' x 50' all together). We now have room to park and work on the Monty and the grandkids have a lot of room to play on their bikes etc., with still lots of grass to play in too.

We keep it next to our house, city ordnance states must be back from the front edge of the house, subdivision says a fence must be in front. No problem, 6' fence with the Montana Logo showing over the top. I also installed a 50amp service so we can get the fridge ready early and keep the humidity down with the air conditioner.

We built a 64x64 pole barn. Part shop part hunting cabin (we have 80 acres) and part home for our 2006 3400rl. It's so nice to be able to keep it stored inside and plugged in. MY husband made sure the builder put in 16' doors so no matter what we had it would fit.

We have 5 acres 12 miles from nearest town in CO. Our Monty sits near the yard on it's own drive. Next year we hope to have a drive through barn for Monty. With connections to our septic tank, water and electric. We have a plugin for it now in it's drive way. We paved our drive ways with recycled asphalt and Monty has some of that too.
