Enclosed, Covered, or Uncovered: What Type of Trailer Storage is Right For You?

Posted by Party Barn Boat & RV Storage on July 31, 2017

Your tow trailer is one of your most valued assets. Monetarily, it is an investment that you protect and maintain with care. On a sentimental note, it is your home away from home – your refuge made for adventures, memories, and experiences that you will cherish for life.

Your tow trailer is built tough – it’s made to withstand all types of inclement weather and the elements of nature. Despite its heavy-duty exterior, however, it is not exempt from wear and tears over time.

Having your tow trailer stored securely is essential to its care and is just as important as the hands-on upkeep you provide for your rig throughout the year. The list of trailer storage benefits is lengthy, but a few key points will help you decide whether or not a storage facility is right for you and which options will provide your trailer with the necessary protection to keep it safe while you’re on the road.

Enclosed Storage

A fully enclosed storage area provides the highest level of protection for your off-season rig. Not only will you have the benefit of full-weather coverage, the effort you put into the care and maintenance of your trailer will be extended, saving you time and money. You will also appreciate the comfort of knowing an enclosed and locked unit creates an extra layer of security from unwanted pests and people.

Party Barn Boat and RV Storage offers fully enclosed 12′ x 30′ storage facilities that feature either 9.5′ clearance with concrete foundation or 8′ clearance with gravel foundation, depending on your preference and needs.

Covered Storage

Covered storage is generally desired for tow trailers that are too large for an enclosed unit. Access to a covered storage area that is not fully enclosed can be faster and more efficient if you use your tow trailer more regularly, allowing you to quickly and easily dock and move your rig. Heavy duty steel construction ensures that your trailer will be protected from hail, rain, and snow, and the option of electricity with a covered space will allow you to store your rig with little preparation for shorter periods of time.

Party Barn offers various lengths and clearance with our 12′ wide storage areas to suit the needs of your tow trailer. Our covered parking is secure and easily accessible to clients and allows the option of spaces with and without electricity.

Uncovered Storage

Uncovered storage areas are ideal for those with multiple rigs they wish to rotate throughout the year. You have the advantage of easiest access to your tow trailer and plenty of room for winterizing and maintenance before storing your trailer for long periods of time. Uncovered parking is a secure and safe way to store your tow trailer and provides ultimate accessibility to your rig.

Party Barn Boat and RV Storage offers 12′ x 30′ uncovered, secure parking for your tow trailer. Our five-acre lot is located only three miles from both Lake Lavon and Lake Ray Hubbard, making our uncovered storage spaces ideal for those who use their tow trailers regularly.

Three Reasons You Need Camper Storage Year Round

Posted by Party Barn Boat & RV Storage on July 18, 2017

Many people think of camper storage as being something that is only required during the winter. That’s not necessarily the case, as there are plenty of reasons to utilize a storage facility year round. Here are three benefits to doing so you may not have thought about.

#1. Protects your vehicle from theft and vandalism

You have a lot of money invested in your camper, so the last thing you want is for criminals to target it. When it is parked inside our secure storage area, the odds of it being stolen or vandalized are greatly diminished. Leave it with us whenever you are not using it, and you can have peace of mind knowing it is in great condition when you are ready to pick it up again.

#2. Prevents your driveway from becoming too crowded

Let’s face it-campers take up a lot of room in your driveway. Having an extra vehicle parked there could make coming and going a hassle, and might even create an eyesore for your neighbors. It could be an especially big problem if you are expecting company and find your guests now have to park on the street. The best way to regain full use of your driveway is to move your camper into one of our secure storage spaces.

#3. Ensures you maintain your storage slot

Many recreational vehicle owners do not even think about storage rental until the end of summer. By that time, there is often a rush to secure storage spaces before they are all taken. This is something you won’t have to worry about if you maintain your storage spot year round.

Year-round camper storage allows you to enjoy your vehicle whenever you choose, while still having the peace of mind that comes from knowing it is protected when not in use. Here at Party Barn Self Storage, we have covered, uncovered, and enclosed units that are suitable for a variety of purposes, and invite you to contact us today to find out more.

4 Tips for Keeping Your RV In Shape

Posted by Party Barn Boat & RV Storage on July 3, 2017

When your RV is not being used, it’s important that you keep it well maintained during those times. Without doing so, parts can break down and lose their functionality. Here are a few tips to help you out.

4 Tips for Keeping Your RV In Shape

Make Sure Your Seals Are Working

In order to keep your RV nice and dry, the seals on your roof and around your doors and windows need to be able to keep out any moisture. Over time, however, seals can start to crack and loosen. It’s a good idea to check your seals every few months, or even replace your seals and reseal your doors and windows for good measure.

Look Underneath

Take a look underneath your RV every now and then. Check out all the parts. Make sure nothing seems out of the ordinary or broken.

Keep It Cool

If you’re storing your RV outside, it can heat up during the summer months. Temperatures inside your RV can reach well over 100 degrees Fahrenheit. This can cause damage to inside parts and accessories. To prevent this from happening, open the vents. An even better solution is to store your RV in an indoor self-storage facility.

Keep the Roof Covered

Rain, heat, snow, hail, falling branches, cold weather, hot weather, and more can damage your RV. Keeping your RV’s roof covered can help prevent a lot of this damage. Use an indoor or covered RV storage facility to store your RV while you are away.
