When you use a recreational vehicle storage service, you’ll probably have the ability to request a covered or uncovered RV storage space. Covered RVs sit under an unenclosed roof while uncovered trailers are parked outdoors in an open lot. Both options offer several benefits and a few drawbacks:
Price
The biggest advantage of choosing an uncovered space is that it costs substantially less per month. You can save a considerable amount of money over several years. On the other hand, covered storage often reduces maintenance expenses. It could also help your RV or trailer fetch a higher price if you decide to resell it.
Sunlight
While an uncovered recreational vehicle may receive some shade from neighboring trailers and nearby trees, it faces far more sun exposure than covered RVs. This is problematic because ultraviolet rays can cause significant harm to paint, rubber and other materials over a long period of time.
Grime
A roof reduces the need for time-consuming cleaning tasks. It accomplishes this by shielding travel trailers from leaves, twigs and bird droppings. Covering may also prevent mold growth. Either option involves some exposure to wind and windblown debris; only enclosed storage can completely eliminate this problem.
Security
Both types of storage protect these vehicles from thieves and vandals. Many facilities use surveillance cameras, gates and bright lighting to keep criminals at bay. Be sure to learn about a specific company’s protective measures before renting a space. You can also take steps to secure your RV, such as checking locks and hiding valuables.
