We're fairly new to RV'ing and have been comparing storage lots in our area as our neighborhood doesn't allow for RV/boat storage. Any suggestions on what premium we should expect to pay for a covered storage lot when compared to an outside storage lot? Also, is the additional premium worth the supposed reduction in cleaning costs, roof maintenance, etc?

rrv,s of all size are prone to roof leaks ,keep it dry as possible a cloth cover helps in out side storage. some day you might want to up grade the better condition you keep your rv the more its worth in the future.

I'm not sure how helpful others can be because prices are typically based on your area. In central CT covered storage runs about $450/month and uncovered around $200/month. Good luck.Lou05 Travel Supreme Envoy

really the simplest way is to just start calling around. you may want to go further than the Atlanta area too. we pay $17 a month for storage for our 40 ft. 5th trailer but it is 150 miles away. cheaper than $125+ a month and we go that way anyway when it is stored.in versus out, it is just your preference.

In the Kansas City area I am paying $60 for an outside uncovered spot. A storage spot in one of the climate controlled caves is $200+ for our 40 footer.

I can't find covered storage so I park uncovered at Public Storage for 50 a month. I can't believe storage facility owners are not tapping into the covered RV market.

Here in Northwest Montana, outside fenced storage for my trailer is $30 per month and I have found indoor storage for $100 per month. I park it on a friends lot for free and use a quality cover in the winter.

We store under a roof when we leave it in Nevada. I believe the more the sun is kept off the better. Our rate there is $86 per month.
