motorhome storage dublin

quinsey

We have just returned from our first motorhome rental experience and are full of enthusiasm to go again! We are looking into buying one but have one big problem - storage. We live in Dublin and do not have the space to store it outside our home. Does anyone know of any longterm storage solutions??? We would be greatful for any info on this, thanks:)

hi are you looking for inside storage or outside storage?

quinsey

indoor storage preferably through the winter. Do you know of any reasonable storage options?

gate82

i might know somewhere,but it wont be available for two to three weeks.how much would you be prepared to pay for secure indoor storage........west co dublin area. pm me

quinsey

Well, how much would you charge and where exactly in west dublin is it? Also we wouldnt need the storage immediately as we havent got our motorhome yet.

its in newcastle.....just off the N7 at rathcoole. I dont know what the going rate for storage on a camper van is so its hard to give you a price.

Some time ago the Motorcaravanclub(Clonee) had details of a place in North Co. Dublin. I think it's a converted fruit farm/growing house?? Give them a call and the'll give you details.

Depending on where you are, near Enfield Michael & Mary O'Malley have storage and lockups etc. Their website for Accomidation is http://www.ballinakillmews.com/ and you'll get contact details thare

Claiva, the other thread has been locked so am replying here. PM'd you the info but its probably worth putting up here. The storage facility (outdoor) is near Fairyhouse racecourse. I've never seen it myself but am told its very secure and reasonably priced. Contact John Roche 01-8256719.

Not quite so secure now that you've posted their details on the web. With the number of campers currently being stolen, details like this are best passed from owner to owner.

thanks loobylou,
i'll give him a ring. I'm primarily looking for indoor storage though.
thanks

Are there many campers being stolen?? :eek: Where did you hear that?

Occasionally hear of a few going missing.I know there a dealer near Dubin airport had two new motorhomes stolen last year.

There are several campers stolen each year. If you are buying or selling be aware of this. There have been two failed attempts to steal mine and one failed attempt to steal my caravan.
Do not meet someone half way in a carpark/ shopping center.
Be very suspicious if venue changes at last minute or changes the appointment if they know your husband or otherperson will be there at the time.
Don't let someone leave their car/son as security. The car could be stolen/kid has legged it. One owner went with guy on test drive to be ordered out, by gun point, a few miles later.
Don't give out addreses of places where several hundred thousand euro worth of campers are stored, without doing a background check.

Several?? Ithought you were talking about loads! Hardly an epedemic.
