    Quoted from PhillyArcade:

    I went down this road. While it can work. 4 times over 15 years the garage/basement was flooded by a tenant by mistake and made a mess.

    Sounds good thanks for the ballpark!! I have 14 pins plus a few arcade games I need to move into one for a few months so sounds like it will work well. I have a TZ that's the only wide body. I also might sell a few. Just curious if they would fit in the that size space since the next size space up from that is a lot more money. I looked at the unit today wide open with a big door nothing in the way. I'm also getting a 15x10 gives me some width so it's not so deep.

    Befriend the owner/manager of the storage unit and talk them into putting you near an outlet and then bring an extension cord.

    I use my storage unit as a 3rd gameroom for the games that need a deep clean and that I don’t want near my nice games! It’s nice to be able to work on them and play them in genuine peace and quiet! Get a unit with doors on both sides, it makes is sooooo much easier to get to what you want. At worst you only have to ever move half the stuff to get to everything! No more moving everything to get to one thing in the back.

    Quoted from PhillyArcade:

    This storage place is brand new and not one outlet to be seen anywhere! I was shocked there is usually something in the hallway. The lights are led motion lights so no more unscrewing the light bulb and adding some outlets there. The nice part about this unit is it's 15 across by 10 so it's a big door and easy to maneuver the game around. Amazing how expensive climate controlled units have gotten. Hopefully they won't be in there too long. It is nice and quiet in there was hoping for an outlet within reach but I looked all over not one to be seen.

    You can try asking, just say it’s to test some things before you put them away or pull them out? Some guys try to charge you but my guy hasn’t and he said “who cares this place makes tons of money as is. I don’t need to charge a fee for using the outlet for an hour” storage units are hell of a racket.

    They usually have outlets SOMEWHERE sometimes hidden up in the ceiling to vacuum/use power tools for maintenance work.

    Mine is the 15 across by 10 as well and it’s awesome. I have my shuffle bowler setup with 6 pins and a couch lol. I also got some hooks and strung up removable LEDs. My last step is to bring in a jukebox. Or a mini fridge
