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.
1. If indoor or covered storage was available would you use?
2. If so, what price would you expect to pay?
3. If metered electric was available would you use?
4. If a wash station was available for your use would you use? Of course there would be a cost to use. Fair cost?
5. Dump Station at facility. $5.00 per dump. Would you use?

1. If indoor or covered storage was available would you use?
Yes!
2. If so, what price would you expect to pay?
I currently pay 137.00/month for outside storage, so I'd pay 150.00 like someone else stated.
3. If metered electric was available would you use?
Nice option - but no. Not sure why someone would want electric while in storage unless using it for repairs/maint
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, nice option to have, but I do this at home in a nice shaded area.
5. Dump Station at facility. $5.00 per dump. Would you use?
Agree with the other poster - free for your customers - charge for everyone else. And maybe have more than one.

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.

1. If indoor or covered storage was available would you use? We currently use covered storage and like it. Indoor storage is available at more than double the rate but we couldn't get inside our rig and that's a deal breaker for us.
2. If so, what price would you expect to pay? Our rate is $130. per month but if we pay a year in advance we get the 13th month free, so that's what we do.
3. If metered electric was available would you use?Yes -- as long as it was 50amps and the charges were not overly inflated.
4. If a wash station was available for your use would you use? Of course there would be a cost to use. Absolutely -- provided it was easily accessed. Fair cost? Not sure but if you set it up like a car wash with a base price and then let the customer add $ as needed for more time it might work well.
5. Dump Station at facility. $5.00 per dump. Would you use? Maybe. We currently make sure we take care of that chore before arriving back at the storage facility but if it was available we might use it. I would hope you'd make sure it was carefully maintained and kept clean.

Monthly extra charge for elect. is available but we don't use it.

Not available at our current storage facility. If it were I might use it.
