Questions my wife and I have. We are looking into opening a boat & RV storage in Kentucky. Never mind the location but my questions are these.

Location is important... You'll find people are willing to pay more for the convienence of having storage in someplace like Land Between The Lakes than Somewhere, KY.

1. If indoor or covered storage was available would you use?

Yes, we currently use indoor storage. The previous owners used covered storage and it really protects the finish.

2. If so, what price would you expect to pay?

Again, depends on the location and if security is available.... If covered, $60+... if indoor, $75+... If security on property add another $30-50 per month. The closer to major metropolitan areas or attractions like LBTL the fair market value of services will increase.

3. If metered electric was available would you use?

Myself, probably not. But I could see some people using it. Not sure your return on investment would the best use of your money, unless you just installed a few bays.

4. If a wash station was available for your use would you use? Of course there would be a cost to use. Fair cost?

Again, not me... I do mine at home, but could see some people paying to have an available space to do if if their subidvisions don't allow it. As far as price, I think some type of metered wash station similar to what you see in a self-serve car wash.

5. Dump Station at facility. $5.00 per dump. Would you use?

Probably not... we try to dump when we leave somewhere. If it were availabe I might use it, but more than likely probably not.

Please don't be sarcastic in your answers. We are just looking to see if it is feasible to open. Please explain your answers too.
