Camping is fun, especially when you are doing it in an RV. There is no need for sleeping bags, tents, or fetching water. You can sleep in a comfortable bed without worrying about mosquitoes or bugs. However, the main concern when camping with an RV is storage. Here is what you need to look into when searching for RV storage units.

Storage Options

When choosing RV storage, you are faced with three main options: enclosed, uncovered, and covered storage. A covered storage space guards your RV against the sun, rain, and snow. There are carport-like structures that cover your RV. This option is more costly than uncovered storage. 

Uncovered RV storage is like parking in your driveway with the benefit of security. You need to find storage with sufficient space for your RV. Uncovered storage is cheaper than the other options.

Enclosed storage is also called inside storage, and it provides the best protection for your vehicle. It is costlier than all the three options. Some of these facilities have climate control. These spaces are suited for small RVs, campers, or pop-up trailers.

RV Chassis Preparation

Before storing your RV in a storage facility, you need to prepare your RV. First, take out the battery and store it. You should also add a fuel stabilizer to the RV while it is still in storage.

You need to change the oil before storing the RV. You should also check that your radiator has the proper levels of anti-freeze. Refer to the owner's manual to determine the appropriate anti-freeze for your vehicle.

Cost

When investing in RV storage, you should research prices. The average cost for storing an RV in enclosed storage is $134.35 per month. Therefore, if you are strained for cash, you can get a fair price for uncovered or covered storage.

Generally, the cost for storing an RV is based on the room required to accommodate the vehicle. The bigger the facility, the higher the price. The largest space is 15' by 50', big enough for any recreational vehicle. The space goes for an average monthly rate of $184.19. 

In Conclusion

When looking for RV storage, you need to be thorough with your research. Take quotes from different facilities and make sure you check online reviews to determine their reputation. Make sure your choice is not based on price alone but also on security and unique features such as rodent control. Contact companies that offer storage units to see if they also offer RV storage options.
