We have a two stall garage----the teardrop is parked on one side, buried behind Bob's collection of building materials, and other assorted, useful stuff. Since I still have to go to work each day, and he's retired now, he wants me to park my car on the other side.
I built a 10x16' shelter near my storage building. Most of the winter it looks like the first pic, except grass isn't green . I've since replaced the 'el cheapo' poly tarp with a quality PVC tarp made for truckers. The framework & bungees hold it very securely with a pretty heavy snow/ice load. We're much more likely to get a couple of inches of sleet/ice in this area than several inches of snow, tho the 2nd & 3rd pix show about 7" we got around Christmas time several years ago. Yeah, I know 7" ain't a lot compared to what many of you experience but, it's a helluva lot for central Arkansas! The poly tarp held up for that but I was kinda concerned (primary reason I got the PVC tarp).

Doing the right thing ain't always easy but, . . . it's always right!

Poor Baby !
We went sub zero windchills Monday night and bumped zero air temp. You got room for an 8x20 caboose in your back yard ?
"Store" a teardrop ? Ya mean like...put it in mothballs ? Heaven forbid !!!! I use mine all year round ! Heck, I even driveway camp a lot ! The climate here in SoCal is practically perfect all year round ! I do park it under a custom car port that I built specifically fer the teardrop to keep it cool and dry...cool in the summer, dry in the winter.
