On my new 5th wheel trailer I plan on removing the batteries and take them home and place them on battery tenders to maintain them.
I don’t know what you pay for storage, but my place is $140.00 a month for open storage and $380.00 a month for covered storage and $500.00 for a garage all are 40 feet in length.

If I still lived in Denver I'd probably take my batteries out for the winter as well... But down here we're camping year-round; and under normal circumstances we rarely go more than a couple of weeks without using the trailer.. Although we usually avoid most government (state and federal) campgrounds during the summer... I camp to get away from people in general..
As for payment... Our city has decided on very stringent conditions which must be met in order for you to park your trailer or motorhome at your house... So... we park at a city approved storage facility... much cheaper than yours, but not inexpensive.. thankfully our taxes haven't caught up with Denver's yet either..
Although the Chip & Joanna phenomenon has resulted in about a 35% jump over the past 3 or 4 years..
