RV STORAGE

• Security

An RV is a big investment. Knowing that it’s safe while in RV storage is very important to our customers. With security measures including electronic gate access and video surveillance, Extra Space Storage takes security seriously.

• Access Hours

The ability to take your RV out and put it back into self storage when it’s convenient for you is something that shouldn’t be overlooked. Most Extra Space Storage locations offer extended access hours from 6am to 10pm, and some facilities even offer 24-hour access.

• Local Weather

Knowing your local weather will guide your vehicle storage decision, especially in regard to choosing between indoor, outdoor, and covered storage options. For example, if you live in an area with harsh storms including hail storms, finding a covered or indoor option might be worth it.

• Location

Finding the most convenient location for your RV storage needs will play a big role in your overall experience. Whether that’s the closest location to your home or a location closer to where you regularly vacation, take the time to think through the location that’ll offer the most convenience.

Small/Lightweight Trailers

• Indoor Storage: In many cases, you’ll be able to store a small travel trailer indoors. Small trailers typically measure between 13 and 20 feet in length and less than ten feet in width, so they can be kept in 10×15 and 10×20 drive-up storage units. Pay attention to the height of your camper, though. Small trailers can be as short as seven feet tall, but many are taller than eight feet. Standard self storage units have eight-foot ceilings, which will accommodate some but not all small trailers.

• Outdoor/Covered Storage: Practically any type of outdoor RV storage option will work for small trailers. Small trailers will easily fit in standard 20-foot parking spots, an open lot, or covered parking. If you don’t feel the need for indoor storage, any of these options can save you a little money.

Mid-Sized Trailers

• Indoor Storage: These trailers are typically between 18 and 25 feet in length, but typically measure above eight feet tall. Because of this, finding an Extra Space Storage facility with taller ceilings, such as ten feet or even higher, will be necessary when storing indoors. If there is a facility with tall enough ceilings near you, 10×20, 10×25, and 10×30 drive-up storage units will all be possible solutions depending on the length of your travel trailer.

• Outdoor/Covered Storage: When looking to store a mid-sized trailer outdoors, you’ll have plenty of options. Uncovered spots, including parking spaces and outdoor lots, are often the most affordable solution. Covered outdoor parking is another option for this style of camper that provides more protection than uncovered outdoor and a lower price than indoor storage. With this size of travel trailer regularly exceeding 20 feet in length, look for locations that offer 30-foot parking spaces.

Large Trailers

• Indoor Storage: With large travel trailers often exceeding 30 feet, finding indoor RV storage won’t be as simple. Trailers on the lower end of this category fall under 30 feet, so a 10×30 storage unit will work if the ceilings are tall enough. Some Extra Space Storage facilities have self storage units as large as 10×40. So indoor storage is an option, but it might not be as readily available.

• Outdoor/Covered Storage: With the largest travel trailers, storing outdoors is very common and a more affordable option. Extra Space Storage locations have outdoor parking spaces as large as 40 to 50 feet in length, so accommodating these large recreational vehicles isn’t an issue.

• Indoor Storage: There are varying sizes of fifth-wheel trailers, including trailers as small as 22 feet in length, but it’s far more common for fifth wheels to exceed 30 feet. For smaller fifth-wheel trailers, a 10×25 or 10×30 drive-up storage unit will work as long as the unit’s ceilings are high enough. For more common trailers ranging from 32 to 36 feet in length, a 10×40 storage unit is what you should look for if you’ve decided on indoor storage. If you own a fifth-wheel trailer longer than 40 feet, indoor storage might be available at select locations, but outdoor storage will be the more readily available option.

• Outdoor/Covered Storage: For fifth-wheel trailers, outdoor or covered vehicle storage is a common choice for RV owners. Both options are more affordable than indoor vehicle storage. Both outdoor and covered parking spaces are available as large as 40 feet at various locations.

• Indoor Storage: Traditional pop-up campers are typically between eight and 20 feet in length, around seven to eight feet wide, and roughly five feet tall when folded. This makes drive-up storage units a good option for those seeking indoor storage. Most variations of pop-up campers, such as a-frame pop-ups and flip-out campers, can also fit into 10×10, 10×15, or 10×20 drive-up storage units with ease. The two types of campers that vary will be high wall and toy hauler pop-ups. High wall pop-ups might require you to find a storage unit with higher ceilings, and toy hauler pop-ups often exceed 20 feet in length, so a large storage unit like a 10×30 might be necessary.

• Outdoor/Covered Storage: Finding outdoor storage for pop-up campers at an Extra Space Storage location will be relatively simple. Most campers easily fit into a standard 8×20 parking stall designed for cars.

• Indoor Storage: Some toy hauler trailers start just over 20 feet in length while others exceed 40 feet in length. Depending on your toy hauler’s length, a 10×25, 10×30, or even a 10×40 drive-up storage unit could be an option for indoor RV storage. That said, height also factors in. If you’re looking for an indoor solution, make sure to call your nearby Extra Space Storage location to see if there are units available that can accommodate the height of your trailer.

• Outdoor Storage: With many toy hauler trailers exceeding 30 and even 40 feet in length, outdoor storage is more readily available and more affordable. Whether you go with outdoor or covered storage, parking spaces are often available as large as 40 feet, and height isn’t an issue. These outdoor spaces easily accommodate large trailers while offering a secure storage solution for your RV.
