You may not recover much of the money at resale time, but you will definitely save a bunch on maintenance and repairs. We've stored both our motorhomes indoors their entire lives.
In 12 years our 2001 Adventurer only needed a couple feet of the roof seams to be recaulked. Friends of ours with the exact same motorhome stored outdoors needed to have the entire roof recaulked 3 times at $600.00 per incident.
We never had to replace tires due to weather checking again saving $2400.00 over a 12 year period.
Our motorhome never needed to be professionally buffed to return the finish to the original shine. Our friends paid over $1500.00 in the same time period to keep theirs in the same condition.
Another other positive is that if you should develop a water leak at a window or roof seam it will be protected from advancing to the stage where it destroys wall coverings, flooring, and furniture.
The best things about indoor storage is that you don't have to worry about whether things will be in good shape when you want to use it, and you won't have to spend a ton of money and time correcting weather related damage.
