How do you store yours when it's not in use? I rent cars a lot so unfortunately won't be keeping this in one car. Thanks!

It comes with a clear plastic sheet that you remove so it "sticks" to the surface. If you keep that piece if plastic you can just put it back on and store the Roadster anywhere.

This is perfect for rental cars because it is not a permanent mount. Simply remove it. It would be best to keep the heavy plastic liner that it is shipped with to place the sticky rubber back on while it is being stored.

If you use it for your gps device I would get a small bag and keep them together.

I don't store it as I use it a lot. But, it is small enough to store in any kind of traveling bag.

I always keep it in my car but when I do carry it around, I place it in a ziplock bag.

I had to give mine to my daughter. This doesn't work if your iphone has a case. Also, there's a peel and stick backing (not glued but more like the backing for a window cling) on this that would pick up a lot of lint. I really cannot recommend this for what you described

I wouldn't leave it outside over the winter especially with the winter we had last year. Extreme temps cause things to wear out faster and can affect how they work. I'd store it in a garage or shed so it's not exposed to the elements. Coleman recommends keeping it covered when not in use as rain can also cause the parts to deteriorate and rust.

I did store mine the same way. Works the same when getting it out from sealed bag.

I have had mine for over 8 months now. The only problem I ever have is with it over heating in my parked car. But at my job I'm forced to park in the sun and I live in central Florida. Our heat index yesterday was over 100f. I can only imagine how hot it gets in a parked car with the windows shut from 530am to 300pm. It overwrites files automatically in the order of the oldest to the newest. I leave mine in live recording mode 24/7. I have many emergency lights in my vehicle so I have a deep cycle battery for my accessories. So I never worry about it draining my battery.

I don't use it every day, but I keep it in the back of my jeep and use it everywhere we go. I think it would hold up well. It would take up a lot less space!

This is a pop-up..it folds in on itself for storage and slips right into the case. I keep it in my car at all times...would rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it. And, its huge with lots of room inside..

Best way to store it is in a plastic tote so as to not compress it. Keeping it compressed over extended periods does indeed harm this insulation. Keep it dry and expanded, and stuff it for travel.

I keep mine outside but it is under cover of my overhang so it is not in the rain. Winter store it on garage and still use it when weather is nice

I left it in my car for 4 months and forgot to take it out for the top off ever 2 months once. I checked out of curiosity and it had 83% of it's charge remaining. And that was parking it in the open all day at work too. Pretty great retention on this thing.

It would be fine to store this in a cold car, as long as you keep it fully charged. It may self-discharge a little faster in cold weather, so check the charge once a week. Inside it is an Advanced Glass Mat (AGM) lead-acid battery, like an Optima battery.

I don't store it - it's set up in my living room in a corner where I can jump on and off of it throughout the day. You can take it back apart, but I sure wouldn't want to do that too often. It really doesn't take up a lot of room and you could just remove the handle bar and store it under a bed easily. The bar just slips onto the front legs and can be removed if you don't want to use it.

I've had mine for a year. But I don't have kids or play with it. I only move it around in my car. It's not a toy!

No, once it's in place you can leave it there. The only time I removed mine was to use it in a rental car while on vacation. Warning - don't leave it in the rental car like I did.

I am unsure of any of these answers. They are all technical questions if you ask me. I have not even used mine yet. It is in the car still wrapped in plastic. Sorry.

Yes, you can keep it in your trunk. I would check it once in a while just to be sure it hasn't lost charge. Works great for me........ Good luck.......

We have not had this long enough to answer but would probably last longer by storing it over the winter. We are in the Palm Desert, CA area, and will bring it in over the heat and direct sun when we leave for an extended time. It is supposed to stand up to the weather but it is easy to move and store.
