Be aware that your insurance will almost certainly not cover you... Check that out..

If you go on google maps, select the area, then search "caravan storage"... Always use caravan as it brings up more results than motorhome.

Check your insurance, tax, MoT.

Short term storage for a motorhome is possible.
Long term is not.

A motorhome needs to return 'home'.
Most insurers have a limit of 90 or 180 days out of country.
You need to ensure your MoT does not expire whilst you are out of the country.
Also your vehicle tax remains valid.

In addition, most countries (Including Spain and the UK ), have limits on the number of days a foreign registered vehicle can remain in the country.
Normally about 180 days.

The days of driving an untaxed, unMoT'ed, (and agrubally, uninsured) van around Europe have long gone.

However, you can leave a UK registered caravan in storage long term in Spain and drive down and pick it up.
Many thousands of northern European 'Snowbirds' do this every winter.
