Value and cost should dictate your choice of boat and RV storage.
An explanation is in order. Answer this question and then we will proceed: what is the value of the boat or RV you wish to find storage for? A small fishing boat, maybe $5,000? Larger boats and practically any RV will be worth what, $10,000? Maybe $20,000? The point is this: using those figures, we can draw the obvious conclusion that your boat or RV is a sizeable investment, and as such should be protected from vandalism, theft, and damage during storage. You should rest assured that no matter where you choose to store your boat or RV, it will be protected and it will be secure during the storage period. That should be the bare minimum in expectations. We are the boat and RV storage in Fort Worth area specialist.
With that in mind, let’s consider your options for boat and RV storage.
Most mini storage facilities provide boat and RV storage. For most of these facilities, that storage is going to be outside. Some offer covered outdoor storage; others are just open-air storage behind a locked gate. Almost all of those storage centers have fenced property and a locked main gate, so the security is definitely a step above the minimum, but to say your boat or RV is secure would be a bit of a stretch. A determined thief or vandal will be able to breach those defenses rather easily. Still, the price is usually enticing, oftentimes as low as $100-$150 per month, so it is a good option for someone on a shrinking budget, and if you are only storing a rowboat worth a thousand bucks or so, this will be adequate storage for sure.
But what about the really expensive boat or RV? Do you really want to trust the storage to a storage facility with a minimum of security? If not, you will have to move up in class, and that means a storage facility with state-of-the-art security and a staff accustomed to dealing with high-end merchandise like expensive boats and RVs.
Will the price be higher for that storage? Most definitely! You can expect to pay $250-$350 per month for such security, but for an investment of $20,000 or more, isn’t that extra expense worth it for peace of mind, especially if it includes climate controlled storage to protect against extreme climate conditions?
