Trailers at Coopers Lake

topic posted Fri, July 18, 2008 - 7:12 AM by  Fearghus
OK so I have been thinking lately of investigating storing a trailer at coopers lake. Our camp has all sorts of stuff that I only use at pennsic and it occures to me that rather than hauling all this stuff back and forth between home and pennsic I could just get a good weather tight trailer and keep all that crap on site. I know other people do this. I was wondering who I need to talk to and how much does it cost (I can only assume the Coopers charge for this)

At this point this is only a thought. I'd need to get myself the weather tight trailer before I did that and it's not really in the budget between now and next week when Pennsic starts, but I figured if someone could tell me who to talk to this year about it then maybe next year I could make that my project.

    Responded to offlist.

    Bottom line call and talk to Cooper's directly.

      We've stored our shower trailer there for two years now. Last year's fee was $120. It's worth it for at least two reasons. They haul it away to the lot at the end of Pennsic, AND you don't have to renew your registration each year because it never leaves private property.

        Do make it tight, mice love to make nest in the trailers.

        Solid tires not air filled tires if you can. They last forever but are useless on the highway. Your not on the highway.

    I'd be interested in renting storage space in your trailer, if you do this and are so inclined. You know where I live. :)

      We put ours on jack stands. It doesn't keep them from becoming dry-rotted but it does save a little life for them.

        We can so totally do this .....lots of steal and wood covered in fiberglass to keep out rain and mice.

        While we are at it what exactly is the difference between a "trailer" of stuff not allowed to be in your camp, a "camper" which has to go to a special area for campers, and a "large, thing on wheels that looks like drunks assembled at a huge gaterhing of people of some sort in say August on year" which can stay in your camp and you can live in it? does the fact that it has fake brick or wood shigles glued to it magically transform it from a "trailer" into something else? If you had a pop up camper and then hung tarp from it to the ground so it looked litke a big tent could it stay in your camp? Just wondering on the rules if anyone knows. If I can build and park a huge ugly thing that looks like a building in camp maybe we wouldnt have to leave a trailer on site? Just thinking.
