There are a couple things that would make a storage facility more appealing to me if I were parking an RV in one.
One: electricity, at least a 15 amp duplex receptical (Standard wall outlet) I don't need 50 amps in storage but it would be nice if I had one or two.
Second SECURITY.. Far too many have come back to their RV and found it either broken into or gone.. SECURITY is important.. Indoor close storage is nice, but costly.. Outdoor if there is no way to keep bad folks out (though there may be ways to get the police in time).. but a darn good video system properly maintained (almost never found in secure storage lots) would enable the authorities to come calling on the thief.
I know of a few cases where there were such systems.. and Well try this story:
Man calls police "I've been mugged" They ask for a description and he said, Come see me in a few hours"
the police arrive and he hands them a portrait of the mugger.
You see, he paints portraits, and he does Presidents, CEO's Governors and others who can not sit for a painting. So he sits them and then paints from memory, his is photographic, the canvas is his film.
They took one look at the painting (Which now hangs in the Chief's office) and quickly arrested the "Suspect". who at the time I first read the story, was hanging out not far from the chief's office.. in a room, tho which he did not have the key.. to the locked door.
