RV storage facilities is nothing more than a Google search term; what it does not tell you is that you have a variety of options when it comes to storage facilities for your RV, and we are going to tell you about those options in this article by Mouser Self Storage, serving the South Fort Worth, Alvarado, and Johnson County area. Call us at 682-800-3949 for more information about current prices and storage units available.
Several factors go into choosing RV storage facilities. These include the safety factor, the ease of access, and the local restrictions regarding RV self storage; of course, cost is almost always a consideration as well.
Traditional RV storage facilities.
There are actually designated RV storage facilities in most major cities, storage facilities which cater only to RVs or travel trailers. These can be either outdoor, covered facilities, or indoor facilities, like a large garage. The latter can be either single storage units or large warehouse-type facilities where multiple RVs are parked and stored.
In addition, some of the more expensive facilities will offer services for a premium price, like winterizing and/or tire inflation.
The security may, or may not, be good at these facilities. The outdoor, covered options cost less, but their security depends upon the security of the entire property i.e. is there a fenced perimeter, is there video monitoring, etc.
Other options to choose from.
Many RVers are choosing to build their own RV garage, an expensive undertaking, but the expense, broken down over years, may be less expensive than paying for the first option listed here. This option is as secure as you can make your garage, quite frankly.
Of course, the most obvious option is to store your RV in your driveway or backyard. This may be a viable option depending upon the HOA regulations, if there are any, the zoning variances, or any other local fine print you need to be aware of. If you should choose this, our strong suggestion is that you seal the roof every year and you put an RV cover over the top to protect it from the wind, rain, and snow, thus preventing leaks.
RV self storage at Mouser Self Storage.
The final option you have is RV self storage at a self storage facility like Mouser Self Storage. Depending upon the size of your RV, you can have either indoor, or outdoor, storage. A secure self storage company, like Mouser, will have all four levels of security, meaning your RV will be snug as a bug in a rug, and the cost will be somewhere in-between the home storage and the designated RV storage companies. Currently our RV storage runs between $110 and $160 per month, and that is for covered, with electricity, and with 24/7 access. The largest unit is 13’x50’, ample for the largest of Class A’s on the market.
Which option is best for you? Only you can answer that question, and your answer will depend upon your finances and your desire for security.
