Storage is never cheap unless you can get it at home or know a friendly farmer. Do a seach on the company directory on this site or caravan storage on google. The local storage sites to me (Chelmsford) are about £30-£40 a month for a  high security site.

Hope this helps.

My van is in storage at Marks Tey near Colchester. It is not cheap, about £300 a year, but there are all the security measures you can think of and everything else for cleaning. The owner lives next to the entry gate and doesn't miss anything. There is a caravan repair specialist and servicer on site.

It's a small world, we too keep our van here, and security is certainly second to none.

Dear all,

We keep ours at a farm near our village - no super dooper security but unless you know about it, you'd be hard pressed to know any caravans were stashed there - not visible from the backwater approach lane.  Don't know if he has any spaces - ours is under cover and I think all the indoor spaces have gone, but might be some out the back.  Let me know if you're still interested and I'll send the phone number (don't like to shout about it - keeps the location secure!).  It's in the Halstead region.

There's also Barnfield at Braintree - they advertise in Yellow pages and mags I think - they had spaces when we were looking and a pleasant ex-copper gave us a couple of hours towing tuition, which was very useful (obviously, you have to pay extra for this).

As an ex copper, I would have done it free!

There is caravan storage at Tenpenny Hill Thorrington on the old Colchester - Clacton road, just behind the cafe before the Brightlingsea turnoff. It used to be reasonable although the old owner has since retired.

That sounds too good to be true Carole. We're looking for somewhere after our van was "redecorated" on our drive last month. Would you mind e-mailing me contact details of the storage site please.
