    I might be able to connect you to someone who has storage in the Knoxville/TelliconLake Area unless that’s too far way.

    New facility just getting started in N. Augusta, SC (GA/SC line) – csrarvboatstorage.com – I am moving my XL40 there shortly. 30A power, water in the building, not for living there, just to keep your bus inside… really great guy was in the mattress business owns the property and the building. I am going to be there fairly often, so you will know I’ll be keeping a special eye out for Prevost people.

    I have been debating building a 10-15 bay coach storage facility here in Nashville for about a year. Storage is hard to find here for a big bus. Most of the entertainer coaches park outside. There are several big lots north of town. A few self storage places will let you park on their lot (outside). You would think as many buses as their are in Nashville, that storage would be easy to find.

    Marshall, see if you can find an underutilized warehouse and make it work, new construction is expensive!

    I was thinking about building some coach work garages at the I75-I10 intersection . Maybe a condo set up ? We could have one with a community pit for underbelly service or even a upgrade in the unit itself . I think the cost would come in around 150k@ .

    Who knows with the way things are going we might need to park these Dinosaur’s for a while till we figure out how to convert them to Air Power or something .

    I have owned this building over 20 years. 60 ft x 15-16 ft. water, electric, sewer, heated, a/c.

    Operating permit recently changed from rental to condo ownership. 7 stalls sold in 8 months, kept 1. Missouri LLC.

    I’am posting for Provost owners on this site looking for storage information.

    The place where I had mine stored for two years has close 60 units now. Possibly more. Gated, secure, wash bay, air station, dump station, 20A electric with option for 30A for additional fee. Liked the place a lot and never felt the coach was not in a safe and secure location. Solid owner, too. $325/month with the increase to 30A service.

    Moved my coach home last year to my 30’x40′ garage that I am still trying to get the front closed in so I can keep the coach full enclosed. Plan to insulate, heat, cool, the building.

    Will be selling my home and 2 acres in the next two years with plans to build a coach house on acreage.

    Great feed back , thank you . So I guess locations close to home base are important as i would not park in Missouri being a Fla resident .

    So sounds like if rent is kept under 400@ month price is fair . Then it’s just a matter if the location suits owners .

    I really believe our coach can have a direct impact on serious decisions regarding where and how we live.

    When we bought our first coach he had a barn across the driveway and it was big enough to enclose the bus. It was used to store parts for logging trucks and sawmill machines, but like a lot of barns you could see daylight between the side boards.

    For 10 years the bus was stored 15 paces from the house an despite the bitter cold I could work on it, we could load it for a trip relatively easy and I could monitor it.

    When we moved to pour present location we had no intention to build. But after wearing ourselves and multiple realtors out it was apparent our bus was the problem and our choice was to accept remote storage or sell the bus or build our home with a bus garage.

    Today I am even more convinced if a bus is to become part of a lifestyle it needs to be located where we live. That way we have total control over its safety, we can monitor it as necessary, when going on a trip we can load clothes and food at our leisure and not based on how much we can bring to the bus in the toad.

    Not everyone is in a position to do what we have been doing for 31 years and I cannot measure the value of having the bus across the driveway, but it is substantial. I have the bus and all its records 3 minutes away. I have a place we go when the power outages occur and we can stay warm, cool, take showers flush toilets, (we are on a well) and if needed use the bus to supply emergency power to keep the house and its refrigerators safe and working.

    When I need bus parts I can refer to the bus if needed to make sure what I need are right. The bus is out of the sun, rain, snow and wind.

    If we ever have to move and the bus will not have inside protected storage 35 feet from my door, it means I don’t have a bus any more.
