Trailer Parking

[cca5448]

I haven't been able to find any information about trailer parking. We would like to use our trailer both for hauling gear and as our primary food location. Is there available trailer parking (assuming we park it on Tuesday to get an OK spot) or should we not plan on this at all?

There is ample trailer parking in the lot immediately North of the dome, within reasonable walking distance.

Yes, there is plenty of trailer parking in the lots just upriver of the dome. Do take care that you will have an outlet when you enter a lot that is full or nearly so. I drove our trailer into a long dead-end path one afternoon last year, and I am not sure exactly how I managed to back out and get turned around without losing a bumper.

Edit: My New Orleans is showing again. In the case of the dome in St. Louis, upriver is actually north.

Edit2: Using Google Maps, there are five such lots, all bordering N 6th St. This link is right in the middle of them.

If I remember correctly same as last year the trailer lot is on 6th street next to the dome. Note: this is where our RV was broken into last year. :-(

Yes, Park there at your own risk... A mentor parked there 2013 and was broken into, and I parked there last year and was also broke into. So instead of paying the deductible for insurance to repair the vehicles this year, we had our stuff shipped in a crate and will not bring a trailer so that the vehicles can be parked in a secure garage.

Even thought you see security at the parking lot, they don't do much.

Well, we have a "mobile kitchen" trailer that we are considering parking there. The only thing worth stealing in it weighs about 3000 pounds. The team equipment trailer we will just move to our offsite location after load-in.

Thanks for the information about the lot security.. I guess I will make sure I dont have anything visible worth stealing in my vehicles.
