One of the frustrating things about owning an RV is storing it when it's not in use. An RV is large, so it's inconvenient to have in your driveway. Plus, you may not be able to keep an RV on your property due to local codes or HOA regulations. The solution is to find a convenient RV storage facility. These usually offer open, covered, and indoor storage spaces. Covered parking is a popular choice. Here's why.

Covered Parking Provides Protection

Open parking on a lot is the least expensive option, but then your RV is exposed to rain, flying debris in storms, sun, and snow. Keeping your RV under a roof provides much better protection from the elements. Sun can be especially hard on the roof of the RV, and it can wear away at the rubber parts and fade upholstery. You can maintain the value of your RV much better if you keep it in the shade under a parking cover.

Covered Spaces Are Usually Affordable

Indoor RV storage is the best type of storage available, especially if you find a climate-controlled facility, but the cost can be out of reach if you have to rent storage for an extended time. A nice benefit of covered storage is it is much more affordable than indoor storage while providing good protection for your RV.

Covered Storage Accommodates Large RVs

It's easier to find a covered parking space for a large Class A motorhome than it is to find suitable indoor storage. Indoor storage is available, but you may not find it at a convenient distance from your home if you live in a smaller city. Covered storage handles RVs, boats, and cars of all sizes since the structures are easier to build at the height needed than a storage building. Indoor storage is more readily available for smaller Class B and Class C RVs.

It's Easy To Access Your RV

You can usually visit an RV storage facility at any time to check on your RV, take it out, and maintain it. This is made easier with covered storage since your RV is easy to access and monitor. You might be able to watch the storage facility on a camera to keep an eye on your RV, which can give you peace of mind in bad weather. Indoor storage buildings might be tight on space so the facility can maximize the space in their building. This might make it inconvenient to take your RV out for quick tips or to get to your RV if the facility is locked after business hours.
