Storing our TT for a month or less at a time?

We are planning to head south - North Idaho to Southern Oregon. When we get there, we will need to leave the TT (19ft) in a secure storage location, as I need to head back for a couple weeks of work. Wondering how advisable to use a regular commercial mini-storage facility, or if there is a better plan?
Thinking it may be there for less than a month.
There are a few mini-storage facilities with supposedly good security around the area.
Would it be advisable to get an enclosed space or is the outdoors RV parking the typical way to go?
I understand the circumstances of the unique location may vary, but as a general rule, is this the way to go, or is there a more advisable alternative?
Many thanks for your suggestions and advice.
cheers
Bob

    Are you staying in an RV park while you are physically there? If so ask them if they have a place you can store it and if so how much it will cost? Many CGs have a place for people to store their trailers.

    If it's in the eastern half of Oregon at all, then make sure you have covered storage due to all of the rain and moisture. At this time of year, I'm doubt you'll find any available. I left my MH in the Portland/Vancouver area last winter uncovered and I'll never do that again. It's in Vancouver now, but I'm flying down in early Nov to move it to Phoenix so it doesn't sit in all of that rain and humidity again.

    I'd find a regular RV storage place, I think they're better or more secure than the mini-storage places that get all sorts of people and are less secure in my opinion.
