The further outside of a big town you can get to find a storage facility, the less expensive it becomes. And sometimes competition will help too.
One thing I see here in the western states for RV protection are buildings with metal or wood roofs, and open sides and ends. Or perhaps one or more sides are solid in the direction of prevailing winds and storms. Many owners of those buildings add open weave fabric sides. Like sun screens. Allows wind to pass though for the most part. Stops most rain and snow. Gives shade.
Much less expensive then a walled enclosure. Does require a little more proactive work by the owner to keep it from damage. For instance, in a wind storm, the 'walls' may need to be rolled up.
