When you need to store a boat or RV, the size of the storage unit is a critical decision. It's not just about fitting your vehicle inside; it's about ensuring enough space to maintain and access the vehicle comfortably. Our storage facility provides a range of options tailored specifically for oversized and recreational vehicles, ensuring that you find just the right fit for your needs.
Choosing the correct storage size involves understanding your vehicle's dimensions and available storage types. Whether you're storing a compact jet ski or a large RV, the right storage size can make all the difference in terms of convenience and the condition of your vehicle when it's time to take it out again. We're here to help you make the best choice, ensuring your boat or RV is securely stored and easily accessible whenever you need it.
When storing your boat or RV, several key dimensions must be taken into account to ensure a safe and suitable storage solution. Firstly, consider the overall length and width of your vehicle. This includes any additional components such as trailers, motors, or extended mirrors that may require extra space. Height is another critical factor, especially for indoor storage options where ceiling height can limit accessibility or even prevent storage entirely.
Additionally, think about the clearance needed for safely moving your vehicle in and out of the space. Adequate clearance ensures that you can maneuver your RV or boat without the risk of damage.
We often recommend a few extra feet of space around all sides of the vehicle, allowing for easier access and the ability to perform minor maintenance tasks or checks before and after storage. By understanding these dimensions, you can choose a storage unit that accommodates your RV or boat comfortably and allows hassle-free access whenever needed.
Choosing between indoor and outdoor storage for your RV or boat can significantly impact your peace of mind and the vehicle’s upkeep. Indoor storage offers the advantage of protection from the elements, keeping your vehicle safe from sun, rain, and wind damage. This is particularly important for maintaining the exterior condition and longevity of your vehicle. Additionally, indoor units often provide enhanced security features, which include surveillance and controlled access.
On the other hand, outdoor storage can be a more cost-effective solution and may offer easier access for larger RVs or boats that are too tall or long for standard indoor units. Many outdoor storage areas are equipped with covered options to offer some protection against weather conditions while still accommodating the unique size requirements of large vehicles.
When deciding between indoor and outdoor storage, consider your budget, the physical dimensions of your vehicle, and the level of protection each option offers. Both types aim to provide secure, accessible solutions, but your specific needs will dictate the ideal choice.
Choosing the correct unit size is essential for storing your boat or RV. It’s not just about fitting your vehicle into the space but also about ensuring there’s enough room to maneuver and access other items if needed.
We frequently see clients underestimating the amount of space required, leading to cramped conditions that could damage their valuable assets. To avoid this, measure your vehicle's length, width, and height. Add some extra space to those dimensions to accommodate items like mirrors, antennas, or trailers that might extend beyond the primary body of the vehicle.
Think beyond the vehicle itself. Consider additional space for accessories or related equipment you may need to store, such as life vests, fishing gear, or maintenance supplies for boats, and awnings, hook-ups, or spare parts for RVs.
A few extra feet can make a large difference in terms of accessibility and ease of use. We’re here to help you determine the best unit size that balances space efficiency with ease of access, ensuring your boat or RV is protected while stored with us.
Before storing your boat or RV, proper preparation is key to maintaining its condition while it’s not in use. Start by thoroughly cleaning both the interior and exterior. This removes any moisture-attracting residue or waste that may cause damage over time. Ensure all appliances and electrical systems are turned off and if possible, disconnect batteries to prevent drain.
For boats, it’s crucial to drain any water tanks and fuel systems to avoid corrosion or freezing. Protecting your boat's hull by applying a coat of wax can also help guard against rust and decay during storage. Similarly, for RVs, consider using tire covers to protect against sun damage and inflate tires to the recommended pressure to prevent flats. Lastly, cover your boat or RV with a breathable cover to shield it from dirt, dust, and environmental elements.
