cost of storing your RV
From time to time I find it necessary to store my class A at a storage facility. What do you pay for storage and what are you willing to pay for storage?

$155/Mo in Simi Valley CA for a 34 foot back in space. I have about 2' on either side for clearance. Pretty average for a park and lock space within a say, 50 miles radius of the RoseBowl in Pasadena CA. Ours, however, is gated, video, IR and laser sensors. Pretty clean area, not much airborne crud. Full concierge service available, as well as some maintenance procedures. A couple good outside repair guys more or less on call.
Price for applying sealant on roof joints, 6 tubes of caulk and one hour labor $120.00. Full service wash or do it yourself. Prep for trip including wash exterior, clean windows inside and out, check bodily fluids, check battery charge, fill water if you wish. Less than $100. Currently $10 septic charge for renters and $20 for non-renters. They are installing a septic system and greenbelt at which time renters can dump free, currently on a tank.
Propane, ice, certified insect free firewood and bottled water available. When you return your rig you can park it and the staff will dump and flush, clean inside, vacuum, and in general make it ready for next trip and then park it for you. That's about $60/hour.
Some services are really cheap some seem to me to be pretty steep. My seams on the roof need some touch up and that $120 quote seems really good for six tubes of dicor and application. $60/hour to remove old dicor if desired. Buff and wax a clean surface, $10/foot. Heavy oxidation and sunburn is a lot more but competitive. A full battery service for chassis and house batteries is available.
Pretty much everything you would want done is available and like I said at a competitive price. Since they installed the recorders, the gate is never locked. Office is open 5 days a week and o some really busy weekends as they also rent, TTs, A's, B's and C's with setup in several campgrounds including a couple of State Parks.
Nice folks good service and it's only an hour away from our home. Better than the $265 a month with limited services available near the house.
