NIRVC DC

We stayed at the DC branch of National Indoor RV Centers in Manassas, Virginia.

Not a campground, but an RV service center. We arrived on a Sunday, and left on Friday, sleeping in our coach each night, and going out exploring or waiting in their customer lounge during each day.

Nice that they provide electrical hookups:

Closed entrance gate; they provided a link for us to open it so we could arrive on Sunday, and go out in the evenings:

The NIRVC building; this is I think the smallest NIRVC facility:

Others have vast indoor storage, but this one just has some outdoor storage and RVs for sale:

As I said, perhaps the smallest NIRVC branch, but also the newest, I think. Waiting in the customer lounge wasn’t super fun, but we just worked on our laptops as usual. And sleeping in our coach each night was easier than moving into a hotel or Airbnb for the week, as we’ve done on some previous occasions.

We’ll probably be back again next year for the annual services.
