We have been storing our 40' DP in the El Mirage area north west of Phoenix for the last several years. If we are leaving it for the winter, we've sometimes left it in un-covered storage when we couldn't find covered storage since the sun/heat isn't as bad during the winter.
The prices of $300 - $500 a month are sort of strange? We're paying $125 a month for covered storage. When we were having problems finding covered storage we looked at enclosed storage out of desperation and they were going for around $700 a month. We finally found covered storage at the U-Haul in Litchfield.
Have you been looking for space near the Phoenix Airport? If so, look out further and then use Super Shuttle to schedule rides to and from the airport.
Do to the problems of finding covered storage when needed, we now rent the space year round. This is why you can drive by a storage place and see open spots, but they're not available. Un-covered space is more readily available, but there's not a lot of of it.
Before we found a covered space and decided to keep it year-around, we'd start making phone calls right after lunch each day. We had a clip board with well over 20 places on it to call each day. The reason we started calling right after lunch is most of the people who were taking their RV out of storage flew in during the morning and then took their RV our of storage around or before noon. If we waited until later in the day, the spaces were taken before we got to them. None of the storage spaces maintained a call back list because they had too many people waiting for spaces.
We put our MH in storage on Sunday and flew home that night. As we drove around the area for the previous thirty days we drove by a lot of storage areas. We even found a few new ones to add to our list. I'm not saying there weren't any spaces available in them, but they all looked rather full.
1. Look further out and then use Super Shuttle to get to the airport if you're flying out.
2. Get a good detailed map that shows all of the little towns by name on the map and then do a Google search for RV storage using each towns name.
3. Don't pass over calling the U-Haul storage places by thinking they just provide cube storage.
4. Make a list and call each place each day until you find a spot.
I'd send you my list, but it's in the MH. Good luck.
