RV Storage at A Storage Place

Collectors and resellers know it well: a summer of direct sun does more cosmetic damage to a vehicle than most road miles ever will. UV rays fade paint, crack vinyl dashboards, and dry out tires long before the tread wears down. Add hail, freeze-thaw cycles, and the slow creep of mildew under a boat cover, and outdoor storage starts to look like a liability. A Storage Place offers covered and indoor vehicle storage options designed to put a real barrier between your rig and the elements.

What Outdoor Exposure Actually Does to a Vehicle

A tarp in the driveway slows things down, but it does not stop them. UV exposure bleaches paint and oxidizes clear coats, particularly on darker colors. Vinyl seating and convertible tops become brittle and begin to crack after repeated heat cycles. Tires left stationary in direct sun develop dry-rot on the sidewalls, which can appear well before the tread shows any wear. On boats, a loose or poorly fitted cover traps condensation underneath and creates conditions for mildew to form on upholstery and carpet.

For anything held for resale, kept as a classic, or simply too expensive to refinish, the difference between a covered space and an open lot is a difference in resale value. A vehicle that has spent years under cover holds its finish and interior condition far better than one that has sat exposed through multiple seasons.

Covered, Partially Covered, and Indoor Options

A Storage Place locations offer a range of vehicle storage configurations. Covered parking spaces provide a roof overhead, which blocks direct UV and reduces hail impact. Indoor spaces go further, keeping vehicles out of wind-driven rain, temperature swings, and airborne debris entirely. Some covered parking spaces include an electrical outlet, which is useful for maintaining a battery tender on a stored vehicle. Availability of electrical hookups varies by location, so confirm directly with the facility before reserving.

To find the configuration available near you, browse our storage locations and check the amenities listed for each facility.

Preparing a Vehicle for Long-Term Storage

A few steps before drop-off go a long way. Inflate tires to the upper end of the recommended range to offset slow pressure loss over time. Disconnect or remove the battery if the space does not include electricity, or connect a trickle charger if it does. Give the exterior a thorough wash and apply a coat of wax before storing, since contaminants left on paint can etch into the surface when left undisturbed for months. For boats, drain all water from the engine, livewells, and bilge before bringing the vessel in.

Size Options for Cars, Motorcycles, and Oversized Rigs

Vehicle storage spaces at A Storage Place are sized to fit everything from a single motorcycle up to full-length motorhomes and fifth-wheel trailers. Compact spaces work well for motorcycles, personal watercraft on a trailer, or a single vehicle. Mid-size spaces accommodate most standard cars and pickup trucks. Larger pull-through spaces are built for Class A and Class C motorhomes, extended-length travel trailers, and boats on trailers. Measuring your rig before reserving, including tongue length on a trailer, helps match it to the right space. Use our unit size guide to compare dimensions and find the right fit before you reserve.
