MCACN Trailer Parking for Participants

[Ryan1969Chevelle]

This note prompted me to ask a question on the subject.

All the communications, and move in information are golden, the show kicks ass at an epic level, but I did run into a slight hick up last year.

I come a day early to help with move in so I get to Chicago at the end of the day on Wednesday so I am ready to rock and roll Thursday morning. When I brought my car as a barn find in 2015 the hotel on the corner allowed all early trucks and trailers to park in their lot whether you stayed there or not. In 2018 when I brought my car for the W31/RamRod display that hotel had changed their policy and I had to find a place to park a 40-50 foot long truck and trailer combo. (Thank goodness my father in law came with me as I had to back up several times as we figured a place to park)

The parking lot manager at the hotel beside the convention center let us park sideways across about 6 spaces and only charged me for about 4 so all ended well.

As soon as Thursday morning hits all the show plans are A-OK and the lots and shuttles are awesome.

I wondered what options are there for Wednesday parking for truck and trailer?

This is a special circumstance but I am sure several of the move in people must also brings cars..... did I miss the memo?
