RV storage is used for so many reasons. One person may use an RV storage unit because they don't have a property where there is space for it. Another person may use RV storage because they don't want to have their RV parked in the open, where it will be exposed to bad weather and other threats. If you already own an RV, or you are going to be purchasing one, then read this guide on RV storage so you can best determine if an RV storage unit would be the right place to keep yours.
Types of storage
There is a good selection of RV storage units, and this means there's a good chance you'll find one that works great for you. There is fully indoor RV storage, covered outdoor RV storage, uncovered RV open storage, and more. A fully indoor RV storage unit can give you a totally private, secure, and fully protective palace for your RV. You will be the only one with a key to the unit. So, you just pull the RV in, do what you need to do with the RV while inside the private space, then lock the unit back up when you leave.
Reasons for storage
If you don't already have your RV, then this section might be especially helpful. Some issues an RV owner can face that can make RV storage a good solution include:
- Repeated complaints from neighbors regarding the placement of the RV
- Letters from the city or the HOA warning the RV must be moved or fines will accrue
- Criminals attempting to vandalize or get into the RV
- No covered area to park where the RV is protected from direct UV rays
- Extreme weather in your region, possible of causing damage to the RV
- Animals and/or pests causing damage to the RV
- Moving to a home without adequate RV storage space
- Wanting easy access to RV services
- Needing the space the RV takes up for something else
Available additional RV storage services
Most of the places offering RV storage also have additional RV services that will be available to you when you rent the space. One service that's often one of the most appreciated is a dump station. When you can dump and store all at once, it's especially convenient. Another possible service is a wash bay, so you can wash the dirt off before it becomes stubborn stains. There may also be a vacuum station, so you can easily vacuum the RV with a hose long enough to do the job well. There can be many other services at an RV storage facility as well.
