If you have purchased some recreational vehicles and you need a place to store them when the seasons change or when the vehicles are not in use, you will want to find a storage facility. Storing them in a storage facility is an easy way to access them when needed and to give them the protection that you need.

Not all storage units may be the best to store your vehicle. Here are some of the things to ask each facility manager before you pick a place to lease a unit.

Can You Control the Temperature?

For your vehicles, you want to have a unit that you can control the temperature of or that has a temperature that is controlled by the facility owner. This is usually a temperature that is comfortable and that will prevent humidity from being a problem in the space. This will also prevent items from freezing or getting too hot.

What Are the Security Features?

The security features are important if you are putting highly valuable recreational vehicles into the unit. The type of locks on the units, entrance into the temperature-controlled areas, and entrance security are important.

You also want a unit that has cameras around the facility to record the vehicles and people coming in, out, and around your unit. These are important questions, and it's worth paying more for a more secure storage site.

How Does the Insurance Work?

Ask if an insurance coverage comes with your leased unit. If it does not but the facility offers some type of coverage for an additional cost, go over the details of it.

A natural disaster, theft, building complication, or another issue may result in the damage of your recreational vehicles. Show the coverage plan to an insurance agent to see if that policy is adequate, or consider getting a policy for your stored items for your own financial protection.

Recreational vehicles can be an expensive investment and you want to be sure that when you leave them in the storage unit after use, they are going to be protected and ready for use the next time you are ready to ride. Look at the different locations of the storage facilities in the area to see what the cost will be to have the unit in a convenient and safe location. You can go from there to get everything stored that goes with the recreational vehicles as well.
