Common RV and Trailer Storage Considerations

Before choosing a storage space, measure your RV or trailer carefully.

• Total length from front to back

Is RV or Trailer Storage Right for You?

RV and trailer storage may be right if you need space for:

• A recreational vehicle you do not use daily
• A travel trailer between trips
• A camper during the off-season
• A boat trailer
• A utility trailer
• A vehicle that does not fit at home

This can be especially useful if your neighborhood, apartment, HOA, driveway, or garage does not allow or comfortably fit larger recreational vehicles.

How to Prepare an RV or Trailer for Storage

Before storing an RV or trailer, take time to prepare it properly.

• Clean the interior and exterior
• Remove food and trash
• Empty or secure tanks as appropriate
• Check tires and inflate them properly
• Disconnect batteries or maintain them properly
• Cover openings to help deter pests
• Secure doors, windows, vents, and compartments
• Use a breathable cover if appropriate

Proper preparation can help protect your RV or trailer while it is not in use.

What Should You Not Store Inside an RV or Trailer?

When storing an RV or trailer, avoid leaving items inside that may cause damage or attract pests.

• Food
• Trash
• Perishable items
• Scented products
• Hazardous materials
• Valuables that should be kept elsewhere
• Items sensitive to heat or moisture

A clean and empty interior can help reduce odors, pests, and storage-related issues.

When Should You Choose a Larger RV or Trailer Space?

You may need a larger space if:

• Your RV or trailer has a long hitch or tongue
• You need extra room to turn or park
• You have slide-outs or exterior attachments
• You need access to side compartments
• You are storing a boat and trailer together
• You want extra space around the vehicle

It is always best to confirm dimensions and access with the facility before renting.
