A Recreational Vehicle is a great way to get out and explore nature on your terms. You can take trips for as much or as little time as you want to, and stay in comfort at every stop. Any RV owner knows the freedom that a recreational vehicle can give you. However, there is one thing that can be tricky with an RV: storing it when you are not taking a trip.
Storing your RV at home is an option, but it requires a significant amount of space and can be a considerable hassle. We recommend using professional RV storage facilities for your RV when it’s not in use. After all, you paid a lot for your RV and are proud of it, so why not keep it as safely as you can?
These are our top 5 reasons for using RV storage as the best way to keep your RV safe when you’re not using it.
Security
One of the first considerations with any storage is how safe is this? When storing your RV, you should undoubtedly consider the security of the location where you are keeping it. The last thing you want is for any damage or even theft to occur when your vehicle is stored away. Professional RV Storage has the benefit of being a secure environment. At Elite Self Storage, we offer fully fenced and gated facilities with individual coded access and video surveillance.
Space
Storing an RV at home has a significant downside: you generally won’t have much space for anything else. An RV by its very nature is a large vehicle, this means that when you come to store your RV when you are not using it, you run the risk of losing a lot of space at your home. Storing your RV at an RV storage facility instead will free up space at home, while your RV sits securely out of the way until you plan to use it again.
Flexibility
Storing your RV at home can be tough if you’re short on space. Getting it out again can involve moving a lot of things around and can be quite an effort, meaning that instead of an easy solution, getting your RV out for a trip turns into a lengthy process. Home storage also means that generally, you’ll have to dedicate a spot for your RV at home all year round. Using a storage facility for your RV gives you the flexibility to use your vehicle whenever you need with ease. You also have the flexibility to rent your storage space only when you need it.
Keep it on solid ground
Storing an RV on anything other than solid ground isn’t a great idea. This is because weather changes can change the condition of the ground your vehicle is on, and in the worst cases, your RV could get stuck or damaged. At Elite Self Storage, we have paved parking lots with big spaces, so you’ll never have to worry about your vehicle sinking into soft or muddy ground.
Keep it out of view
When an RV is sitting on your drive, in your yard, or on the street in front of your house, it can be a bit of an eyesore. In some towns and cities, some bylaws prohibit certain types of RV storage and parking. Using storage to store your RV safely is the best way to avoid potential problems associated with storing it at home, and it keeps it out of view when you’re not using it for an adventure.
