I don't believe self storage has heat or electricity?

There's quite a lot of places that are air conditioned.

That's true. I don't know how many would allow a vehicle to be parked there for 4 consecutive months.

Would there be problems bringing it into US for that length of time without being regarded as an import ? Is it street-legal ? Does your insurance cover it for use in US or would you need local cover ?
I remember in the distant past that British drivers insurance required an extension to cover repatriation of the wreckage from the Continent if it was written-off to avoid paying import duties.

I always see Quebec license plates in south Florida.
