Looking to rent RV and boat storage in Charlotte? From the type of storage to the pricing, there are a variety of factors to consider. Use our guide below to find the best storage solution for your specific type of boat or RV model!

Why Use RV & Boat Storage in Charlotte

If you own a boat or RV in Charlotte, finding a place to keep it when it’s not in use can be a challenge. Many homes in the area don’t have the driveway or garage space needed to accommodate large vehicles, and street parking may be restricted by HOA rules or city ordinances. Even if you live near Lake Norman, marina storage often requires a long-term dockage slip—which can be more expensive than other local options. That’s where RV and boat storage in Charlotte comes in handy. Renting a storage space provides a convenient off-season solution and helps protect your vehicle from the area’s subtropical climate. Prolonged sun exposure during hot, humid summers can cause paint to peel or fade, while excess moisture increases the risk of mold, rust, and corrosion. Plus, many storage facilities are located near highways and lakes for easy access and are equipped with top-notch security features like electronic gate access, video surveillance, and on-site managers to help keep your investment safe.

Types of RV & Boat Storage Near You

Extra Space Storage provides a variety of options for boat storage and RV storage in Charlotte. The right choice for your needs depends on the size of your vehicle, your budget, and whether you want extra protection from North Carolina’s seasonal weather.

• Indoor (10×30)*: These enclosed drive-up units can help protect your recreational vehicles from Charlotte’s humidity, rain, and temperature shifts.
• Outdoor Covered (10×30, 10×40): Covered outdoor parking spaces provide some protection from the elements for stored boats and RVs—which is especially helpful during long-term storage or seasons with harsh weather.
• Outdoor Uncovered (10×30, 10×40): Uncovered outdoor spaces are typically the most affordable options. Since they provide easy access, they’re ideal if you use your RV or boat frequently and don’t mind allowing some exposure to the elements.

*Indoor drive-up storage is not as widely available for RVs and boats as outdoor storage options, and there may be size limitations.

Tips for Storing Your RV or Boat in Charlotte

Before moving your RV or boat into storage in Charlotte, it’s important to properly prepare the vehicle—both to protect it from damage and to keep it ready to go for your next outing. Here are a few tips to help you prep your vehicle for storage.

• Clean Thoroughly: Clean the interior and exterior of your boat or RV to prevent mildew, stains, chipped paint, or pest issues—especially important in Charlotte’s humid environment.
• Remember Your Battery: Disconnect the battery or use a trickle charger to keep it in top condition.
• Prep the Engine & Fuel Systems: Change the oil, and refer to your RV or boat’s owner’s manual to determine whether you should drain the gas tank or fill it and add a fuel stabilizer. This is particularly crucial if your vehicle will sit idle through Charlotte’s seasonal temperature changes.
• Inspect the Tires: Check your tires and make a plan to visit your stored vehicle regularly to maintain proper tire pressure and prevent flat spots.
• Cover Your Vehicle: Use a breathable cover to help protect your vehicle from dust, pollen, and storm debris.
• Prep for Colder Weather: Though winters are fairly mild, Charlotte does experience occasional freezing temps. It’s best to winterize your RV or boat by draining the waste tanks, blowing out water lines, and turning off all appliances.
