Owning large recreational vehicles is fun, but finding a way to store them conveniently and safely may not be. The security and convenience that self storage offers can be a great solution to many of the common problems that boat and car owners face, which include:
* Limited space in a driveway or yard to park the vehicle
* A homeowner's association, apartment leasing and municipal parking restrictions
* Vehicle damage, theft or vandalism
Vehicle storage is a great way to protect your RV, car or boat from harsh weather and also gives you a place to put your RV, car or boat if you aren't using it for awhile. Large vehicles can be stored in paved, open-air spaces, or drive-up
garages with high ceilings and larger door openings, giving you the
option of choosing how much you would like to shield your property from
the weather. Talk with a manager and he or she will be able to advise
you on your best option.
Most storage facilities have a few rules for long-term storage. Some common rules are:
* Vehicles must be in drivable condition
* Tires must be inflated and in good condition
* Your vehicle must be registered and insured
* Adding a gas stabilizer to prevent rust and damage
* Disconnecting the battery will allow your car to start when you decide to remove it from storage.
If you will be storing a boat, make sure your boat is winterized. Self storage will keep your RV, car or boat looking like new and running in peak condition.
