We try to do our best and we enjoy meeting both active and retired military folks. " Best cup of coffee in Dover, Delware. Made with a Little bit of love just for you not more than five minutes ago!"

Past practice is that you must have a pass displayed (on the dash) which you receive upon flight selection. My procedure is to drop luggage and spouse at the terminal and park in the lot in front. After selection I hot-foot it over to the lot and return. Sometimes folks will be returning to the terminal in their auto and offer a ride.   John R Garrison Senior Member Username: Majorg Post Number: 2440 Registered: 02-2006 Posted From: 208.81.157.86 Posted on Monday, March 15, 2010 - 02:37 pm:    Karen: Welcome to the Board! If you have not yet done so, please familiarize yourself with JohnD's SpaceA Pages (link top left), the general layout of this site and the Search Function (magnifying glass at top center) of this site. Nearly all questions can be answered from those three sources. Having read thru the FAQs is a great start and I would suggest reading thru the other sections on JohnD's site as well. For example, the answer to your question is found at JohnD's Spacea Pages, CONUS Locations, Dover, Long Term Parking: http://spacea.net/mediawiki/index.php?title=Dover_AFB And, yes, long term parking on Air Force Bases is among the safest places to park your vehicle for any period of time.

Have parked there many times.   karen pesar potamitis New member Username: Kpotamitis Post Number: 1 Registered: 01-2010 Posted From: 167.24.24.150 Posted on Monday, March 15, 2010 - 01:52 pm:    Does anyone know if there is parking at Dover, and is it safe? I would be leaving my car there for a week or two?

The organization (and its people) does good work.   William F.

However, there is a storage facility across base near the AMC Museum that does store trailers etc. on a long term basis.. Call the base operator for the number of the rec center and find out how much it costs. The security may be worth it. Since i work in the USO, if we coordinated your travel arrangements, i'll give you a ride for free to the site and if possible back to the site when you return if i'm home..We travel too SPAT. Good luck on your sojourn.   Bob Dart Senior Member Username: Bobdart Post Number: 1355 Registered: 06-2005 Posted From: 76.29.20.95 Posted on Saturday, March 13, 2010 - 04:29 am:    I too have seen large RVs parked at the long-term lot. For an easy answer call the pax terminal at 302-677-4088.   D.B.M UK Senior Member Username: Overlandrover Post Number: 5763 Registered: 04-2005 Posted From: 88.105.94.105 Posted on Friday, March 12, 2010 - 06:35 pm:    I have seen Motor homes parked at Dover in the past. Don't know if they were as big, but a good size.In the past they had a 60 day limit.   cw4pitt New member Username: Pittcw4 Post Number: 1 Registered: 03-2010 Posted From: 69.130.127.198 Posted on Friday, March 12, 2010 - 02:01 pm:    This is my first posting. I would like to know the posssibility of parking a 40 foot Motorhome in long term parking at Dover. My wife and I will be trying to space A to Germany in early May and will arrive there in our motorhome(we are full-timing RV-ers). Our back-up plan is to park it in a storage facility.
