fredsleds Posted April 19 Report Share Posted April 19 I wonder if anyone can recommend a SAFE place where I can safely store my trailer/sleds (loaded) that is secure and no more then 45 minutes from YQB airport. I'm retiring and will be going back and forth next winter. I would leave a vehicle the airport. I'd need 24/7 access to this facility and likely would rent it form December through March. Any help would be greatly appreciated1 Fred wng-2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGutz Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 I have been trying to track down the same thing. The Fuel and time to drag the trailer from Mass to Quebec City is a waste. If we are in RDL for one trip and then Sag for another and even Three Rivers, its easier and quicker to park it in QC and pay ??? 100.00 a month or so.... I was checking out several places, UHaul storage ( 3-4 locations in the QC area ) use to do it, but no longer. I started looking at RV storage places, as the SnowBirds would be gone for the Winter and have the room at the lots. If you find something let us know. I'll try to remember the place that was looking promising. Later GutZ iceman and FCL 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceman Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 You are on the right track. Many places offer the outside storage in a secure enclosure. It just gonna need to take a bunch of calling and finding what works. As far as flying into Quebec airport…..from the USA there are Canada customs when you arrive. All flights to USA from Quebec airport go to Montreal or Toronto first to clear USA Customs before flying into USA. wng-2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any help would be greatly appreciated1 Fred That's going to be difficult to accomplish, I would think. Apart from actually finding a "safe" place, and the logistical challenges that @Iceman mentioned, you are going to have to potentially deal with shoveling out, dead batteries etc.... Are you planning on traveling from Florida, or some far warm place? I hope things change, but the snowmobile season seems to be getting shorter and shorter. Being retired, perhaps you should consider spending the month of February in the Province, and call it good. One trip in, one trip out. Other than that, perhaps work with a hotel you trust, that could manage your vehicle and sleds, and maybe even shuttle you to and from the airport. All at a cost and risk of course. Good luck.

Signfan Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 17 x 20 big enough?? These guys advertise vehicle storage. I'd just search boat / rv storage. There's a viable solution available for sure. https://www.depotium.com/en/self-storage/quebec/quebec-city/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=storage in&utm_campaign=20877751857&gad_source=1 MrGutz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikerider Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 I would bet some farmer in the area would have a building that could meet your needs and he'd be glad to make a little money on the side. There must be some farmer's organization you could send a letter to in the specified area, or perhaps send a letter to the local snowmobile club explaining what you are looking for. Perhaps a cub member has a barn or big garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredsleds Posted April 22 Author Report Share Posted April 22 Thank all for the replies. I have been flying in/out of YQB for years and am aware of the process. 17 x 20 is plenty and thanks you Signman!! Staying for a month is an option and a good idea. I'll be in FL and they have flights to YQB daily with one stop, about 6 hours total. A farmer is a great idea. My French is OK enough for simple questions/answers. Best thing about a farm is it's safe and I imagine that they would pull the trailer out with a farm tractor if you let them know ahead of time. Shoveling would be a real bitch, LOL. As far as batteries go I would only leave them 2 weeks max so I think that they would be OK without a battery tender. Mikerider if you come up with some contacts I would greatly appreciate it! FloridaSnowMan in the past used a place near Trois Rivieres, I wonder if he is still around? Best and let's hope for a better 2025!!

Signfan Posted April 23 Report Share Posted April 23 I used to work rotations in northern alberta. Found my truck battery dead a cpl times when I flew home after a 14 day shift. A cheap solar panel that plugged into the cigarette lighter in the truck solved that issue. Just plug it in and set the panel on the dash. Truck battery was always charged when i flew home.

capril19 Posted April 23 Report Share Posted April 23 What about a Powersports / snowmobile dealership? MrGutz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
