camping or RV storage

Hi.

Actually my motorhome is at friend's home in Arizona for a year untill we go back for our next trip that will end in San Francisco.

I'm looking for a camping or rv storage to leave our motorhome for a year.

To you, what is the best solution, a camping or a rv storage?

Do you know a good address in San Francisco area?

  • Leaving an RV parked sitting on it's tires in hot and dry or cold and wet conditions for years at a time will age the RV especially the exterior finish and tires. Storing in an enclosed storage facility will be costly. If RV is not driven, generator is not run, dash and roof air conditioning not run, and batteries are not kept charged properly, using the RV may require considerable expense and effort before you can use it. It might be more economical to rent an RV for you when you need one.
  • Thanks.
    I will watching it.
    I didn't knew KOA offers storage.
  • Petaluma KOA offers storage and camping. Also,Alameda County Fairgrounds offers storage.
  • Yes by camping I wanted mean RV park or campground.
  • I am interpreting the French term "camping" as what we call a RV park. Some of our RV parks offer storage on the property, in a separate area from the sites where you would live in the RV. This storage is almost always outdoors.

    We have other storage businesses that handle RVs, boats, other "toys" of similar size. Storage may be in the open, under shelter, or indoors. Indoor storage may or may not be climate-controlled. Cost of storage will depend on location and type of facility.

    I am not in the San Francisco area, so I am not familiar with available storage and prices. For San Francisco, however, I expect that outdoor storage would be adequate, as severe weather conditions are unusual.
