September 10, 2025 by Kennards Self Storage

For many Australians, a caravan is more than just a vehicle – it's a gateway to adventure. But when the trip is over and it's time to park it, where does your caravan go? While leaving it on the street or in your driveway might seem like the easiest option, it often comes with headaches — and unhappy neighbours. That's where Kennards Self Storage comes in.
