Rv ownership in the land of HOA's

Check local farmers or classified listings to see if anyone wants to rent barn space.

How true this is. The first place I stored at had multiple break ins over a couple of months. My friend who was also storing there told me he talked to the Sheriff deputies about the theft rate. They told him that they are always at this facility for theft, but have never in ten years been to the facility 3 miles away. That week both of our trailers were moved to the new facility. So far after seven years no problems.

Check with your lcoal police department and see if they will give you stats on theft and vandalism for the facilities you end up considering. The numbers may sway your opinion.

You want a storage facility that is gated with video surveillance (SP). As said covered storage is much more expensive, our area about 150/mth.

Our local self storage place has fenced, uncovered storage. But I have no idea what it costs as I park mine in my driveway next to my house.
Many campgrounds store RV's, if you can find one out away from the city, it may be a little cheaper.

Another issue you might run into is "waiting lists". Some of the best storage lots are full-up.

If you could get by with "seasonal" storage, many State/County Fairgrounds rent the barns out for RV/Boat storage in winter.

Price also varies but security, "covered", etc.

Locally the cheapest place's gate is open Mon-Sat from 8 to 8. But open means open, anyone can drive in at any time.

Some friends wanted covered storage, had been "wait-listed" for several years, then found out a mutual friend was the grand-daughter of the owner, they had a covered slot the next month.

You are just going to need to do some research guy. Call your local self storage places, check craigslist, etc. Prices vary depending upon region and amenities. Indoor storage with electricity costs more than covered storage which costs more than uncovered but secure storage which costs more than parking on a gravel lot. The closer you are to an urban area, the more expensive the land costs are and the more expensive the storage fees are.
