There are places that have room to store it but the 14' high door needed for it is the trouble. I haven't found place with a 14' high door that is a reasonable price. I refuse to pay $100/mo

I would pay the 6 or 7 hundred for indoor winter storage in a heat beat. The winter wear and tare while be more than that out doors.

X2. In fact we pay $200 per month but it's money well spent given the investment we have made in the RV. It's a very nice feeling knowing it's clean and dry inside the barn when it's really ugly, wet, cold, and snowy outside. We normally get a ton of rain here but we had an awful winter last year with a lot of snow and forecasts are now saying we have another one coming. :M

If a leak develops the cost of indoor storage will seem cheap in comparison to the cost of repairs. JMHO.

Is that for heated or cold? I can get clean cold storage that will fit my fifth wheel for $10 per ft. and with concrete floor for the winter (Oct - April) I seen advertised heated storage for $7 per ft per month. Not to hijack but was curious what others were paying.

It is unheated but it is a former chicken barn so it has tons of ventilation which keeps everything nice and dry. We don't get very cold here so I'm not concerned about it but I do winterize the plumbing. It is advertised as $6/ft per month and he rounds it off to $200 even.

One thing to be concerned about with storing outside is the numerous freeze/thaw cycles that occur. Warm sun during the day causes melt and that water can find little nooks and crannies to flow into just in time to freeze again. It doesn't take much of a breach of sealant somewhere to have water get in.
