    Hi, everyone!
    Would love to get your opinions.
    I am planning to assemble my folding van next April. I've already started thinking about storing it for the winter.
    I don't have a garage, but I do have a large open space. Do you think a regular tarp would be enough protection? Or perhaps a ‘garage tent’ option should be considered?
    I'd like to get by without renting a box, but if that's the only way to avoid damage to the trailer, I'll have to think about it.

    it all depends on your budget. obviously, the hard sided box or storage container would be tge best option, but a tarp would probably work well as well. with the tarp, also get some sand bags to hold down the sides to keep it from flapping during windy weather. these tarps can get weathered and brittle, so you may need to replace it every year, or maybe more frequently.

    I've been thinking about renting a garage tent too, but I'm not sure about its resistance to high winds. Any recommendations on choosing a good tent?
