Why Use RV & Boat Storage in Miami

There are several reasons to utilize self storage in this prime location for outdoor enthusiasts. For one, Miami’s dense urban environment and potential for strict HOA regulations often may make storing these large vehicles at home impractical—not to mention the valuable garage and driveway space you give up by doing so. Storage facilities also offer additional security features that your home may not have access to. Miami’s tropical monsoon climate is another factor to consider when storing a boat or RV, since certain models may need more protection from the elements than others.

Types of RV & Boat Storage in Miami

When deciding where to keep your RV or boat when you’re not using it, you’ll want to take into account how much protection from the elements your vehicle will need and what your budget is. Storing your boat or RV with Extra Space Storage in Miami offers a variety of RV and boat storage unit sizes and types to meet your needs, including:

• Indoor (10×30)*: These enclosed drive-up access units offer the most protection from the elements for boat and RV storage solutions in Miami, helping to maintain your vehicle’s interior and exterior—select units may even offer climate control for extra protection.
• Outdoor Covered (10×30, 10×40): Covered outdoor RV parking in Miami offers some protection from Miami’s extreme heat, rain, tropical storms, and dust storms. This type of storage also provides daily protection from UV rays, which can help keep your vehicle’s exterior in good condition.
• Outdoor Uncovered (10×30, 10×40): Outdoor uncovered parking spaces for your RV or boat are ideal for oversized vehicles that wouldn’t fit in typical covered or enclosed spaces. They are also often the most cost-effective option, while still helping to keep your vehicle in a secure place.

*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 Miami

Be sure to prepare your RV or boat before putting it into long or short-term storage to help preserve its condition. Here are a few recreational vehicle storage tips to keep in mind:

• Take Pest Prevention Measures: To supplement our facility’s pest control measures, remove all food items, seal all potential entry points to your RV or boat, and use pest traps or repellents to prevent common Florida pests from causing issues.
• Clean & Cover Your Vehicle’s Exterior: Wash the exterior to remove dirt, grime, salt, and anything that could damage the surface over time. Use a high-quality, fitted, breathable cover specifically designed for RVs or boats to help protect your vehicle from sun, rain, dust, and inclement weather.
• Drain All Fluids: Drain all water from tanks, pipes, and the water heater. For boats, drain engine cooling systems and drinking water systems. Consider adding non-toxic RV antifreeze to the plumbing system.
• Winterize Your Recreational Vehicle: While Miami’s winters are mild, be sure to follow your manufacturer’s recommendations for boat engine winterization or winterizing your RV, which may include flushing the system with freshwater and adding antifreeze to the cooling system.
• Ensure Proper Ventilation: Allow for air circulation to prevent moisture buildup in your boat or RV from Miami’s humid climate. Consider using moisture-absorbing products or dehumidifiers. For boats, open hatches and ports when possible while still keeping them covered and secure.
• Visit Your Vehicle Regularly: Check on your boat or RV periodically, especially after significant weather events. Be sure to check the tires for low pressure and to spot signs of dry rotting from Miami’s extreme heat. Perform any necessary maintenance—like resealing any problem areas to prevent water intrusion.
