If you have a recreational vehicle or RV, storing it properly is vital. Putting your motorhome, camper, or travel trailer in a covered RV storage facility will protect it from the elements when you're not using it. While this may seem unnecessary, covered RV storage will keep your vehicle in better condition and extend its lifespan. If you need covered RV storage, here are three things to consider. 

What Amenities You Require

When searching for a covered RV storage facility, you will want to consider what amenities you need aside from the covered storage. For example, many facilities offer washing stations, electrical hookups, and dump stations for you to use. How protected your vehicle is from the elements can also vary. Some storage facilities offer a roof cover, while others go a step further by keeping your RV entirely covered from the elements. If you are storing your RV in an area with extreme weather, look for climate-controlled RV storage. 

Location Matters

When choosing a storage facility for your RV, there's a lot to consider. A storage facility that is convenient to your location is ideal but not always possible to find. Consider how long it will take you to get to an RV storage facility before committing. The closer a facility is to your residence, the easier it will be to get to your RV. Also, make sure to look into the security the facility offers before committing. When searching for RV storage, consider what a facility offers in addition to its location. While location matters, so do storage unit size, amenities, and cost. 

The Cost

What you pay for covered RV storage depends on the storage unit's size, the amenities offered by the storage facility, the location of the facility, and the type of storage you choose. Indoor storage tends to cost more than outdoor storage. Also, the larger your recreational vehicle, the larger the storage unit needs to be, which will add to the cost. On average, covered RV storage costs $100 to $250 per month. Shopping around can help you find a unit that works for your budget. 

There are a few things to consider if you are considering covered storage for your RV. First, storage facilities may offer various amenities, so consider what you need in addition to the covered storage. Second, location matters, so search for a storage facility that's convenient to use. Finally, storage costs vary, but generally, you can expect to pay $100 to $250 per month for covered RV storage.
