Whether or not the price is right, depends on where you are. Around Tulsa, $150-200 for indoor, not heated. About half that out in the countryside, and I'm paying about $60 for covered, enclosed on sides and one end.
Under covered storage, I've not had to redo any caulking in ten years (but still have to inspect it). I also don't have to worry as much about UV damage, but being outdoors, there are potentially mice, squirrels, and the critters that eat mice and squirrels.
Will you get your money back in 10 years? Probably not, but the RV will be easier to sell if it doesn't show as much weather damage.
A lot of folks here on rural property will build their own barns or sheds, for all the stuff they need to store. Compared to renting, a steel building with steel frame, built to handle our wind loads, will take 10 to 20 years to pay out, at $15,000 to $40,000 for a motorhome-size building with 15 foot or more eave height. You can put a travel trailer in a much smaller building, but most folks sooner or later want to store something bigger.
