Sep 19, 2016You aren't selling your self short by choosing an outdoor spot. RVs are built to spend their entire life outdoors. Prices can wildly varying depending on geographical location, but you'll find that it's usually the cheapest option in the area. Naturally, being outdoors will subject the trailer to some weathering of its materials. However, there's a whole host of products out there to combat this, most of which would probably already be part of your maintenance routine anyway. There are people on here with trailers that have been stored outdoors for well over a decade and they're still looking new.
I wouldn't worry too much about weather damage. The off chance that something like that happens, that's what the insurance company is for. Paved or enclosed won't make any difference when it comes to mice. Enclosed units aren't usually sealed up 100 percent so mice can still find their way in.
What's more important is what's surrounding the storage lot. Mice don't like to travel very far from their shelter, like a max of around 30ft. Mice are definitely a concern with lots that are near wooded areas or overgrown fields.
