Rent NowReasons To Use RV Storage
There are a number of reasons why someone might need to store a camper, RV, or motorhome, including a lack of space at home, neighborhood regulations, and more convenient traveling options if they live in a larger metro or downtown area. Here are a few reasons why individuals use a storage facility for their RV:
Get More Space at Home
Recreational vehicles, or RVs, can measure anywhere between eight and 40 feet in length, eight to 15 feet in height, and seven to 10 feet in width. Unfortunately, this often means storing an RV at home is just not an option. Your RV might be too tall to keep in your garage or too wide and long to keep in the driveway.
Even if your RV fits in your garage or driveway, it will get in the way of the vehicles you use daily. Constantly needing to move your RV out of the way takes up time that could be spent elsewhere. Renting a unit at a self-storage facility helps you free up space in your garage or driveway.
Avoid HOA Fees
Many residential areas have neighborhood rules established by homeowners’ associations that determine what can and cannot be kept outside a home for extended periods. A common practice among neighborhoods is that homeowners aren’t allowed to keep RVs in their driveways or on the street. If you can’t store a recreational vehicle in a garage and want to avoid costly HOA fines, then a vehicle self-storage unit is a good alternative.
Use Storage for Easier Travel
If you only use your RV for road trips or weekend getaways, it might be worthwhile to find a convenient self-storage facility near the highway, interstate, or your favorite outdoor recreation spots. That way, you avoid hauling your camper or RV back and forth. You also avoid adding additional unnecessary mileage and decreasing the resale value.
Find the Right RV Storage Solution
Recreational vehicles come in a broad range of sizes, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the self-storage options for a Class A motorhome will be different from those for a Class B or a pop-up camper. Because of this, the recommendations for storage sizes and types of self-storage also vary. Talk with a storage facility staff member to learn more about outdoor and indoor storage for cars and motorhomes. Here are a few types of storage solutions for each type of RV:
Class A Motorhomes
Finding indoor storage for a Class A motorhome or diesel pusher-type motorhome won’t be as easy as for other RV types. In some cases, 10×40 drive-up storage units work for a shorter Class A motorhome, but height could be an issue, as most Class A motorhomes are around 12 feet tall or taller. Our team often suggests outdoor or covered storage.
For this size and type of motorhome, outdoor vehicle storage is often the most readily available option. Many facilities offer outdoor and covered parking spaces up to 40 feet in length; this makes them well suited for storing larger motorhomes and RVs. Outdoor parking solutions also tend to be more budget-friendly than indoor units.
Class B Motorhomes
Camper vans typically measure around 22 to 25 feet in length and around ten feet in height, making it possible to store them inside a drive-up unit. A 10×25 or 10×30 storage unit will easily accommodate these vehicles. It is key to check with the manager at your location regarding the height of the available units.
For class B motorhomes, outdoor storage provides an affordable alternative to indoor storage. Many Storage Mall locations offer 30-foot parking spaces designed to accommodate larger vehicles. For added protection from sun, rain, and other weather conditions, covered parking is also available in sizes up to 30 feet long.
Class C Motorhomes
For Class C motorhomes that are approximately 24 to 32 feet in length, a 10×30 or 10×40 drive-up storage unit will provide sufficient space. Because these vehicles are often taller than 10 feet, it is necessary to confirm that the facility has adequate door and ceiling clearance before renting a unit. Outdoor and covered storage are also common choices for Class C motorhomes; these options eliminate concerns about height restrictions.
