The Benefits of Moving Unused Vehicles to a Storage Facility

Posted by Party Barn Boat & RV Storage on

If you have a seasonal vehicle that you do not plan on using for a few months, or you have a pleasure vehicle that you rarely use, you may want to consider storing it at a vehicle storage facility rather than continuing to keep it on your property. If you have an extra vehicle that rarely gets used and you currently store it on your property, here are just a few of the reasons you should consider moving it to a storage facility.

The Benefits of Moving Unused Vehicles to a Storage Facility

Free Up Space

Unless you live on a large amount of land in the country, then it is likely that space is limited (and at a premium) on your property. This makes storing cars at your home that go unused for long periods of time inefficient, as a car that is not being used will be taking up valuable space that could be used for something else. Relocating such a car to a storage facility can help to drastically reduce any storage problems you currently have by freeing up extra space in your garage or on your property.

Protect Your Car From The Elements

If you are like many people, then you do not want to waste space in your garage on a vehicle that rarely gets driven. However, if you are storing your vehicle outside, this may be a costly mistake. Vehicles that are kept on the street, in a driveway, or in a backyard are exposed to the sun and run, which can destroy the paint, cause the interior to fade, and can even cause rust and corrosion to set in. Over time, this can affect the look and functionality of your car, and it can lower its resale value. This makes it a good idea to store your infrequently used vehicle(s) at a covered or indoor storage facility in order to protect it from the elements.

These are just a few of the benefits of storing vehicles that you rarely use at a storage facility. Contact us to learn more about the benefits of vehicle storage as well as to find out about our storage facilities.

Attain The Peace Of Mind You Need With The Right RV Storage Facility

Posted by Party Barn Boat & RV Storage on

It does not matter if you are a part-time RV user or a full-time RV user, you will eventually need to find the right place to store your RV. While many RV owners choose to park it in their driveway, do you really want to have your RV using that much of your driveway space? Many owners think too much work goes into finding RV storage, but it is actually pretty simple.

When you are searching for RV storage, it is essential that you make sure you use the right tools to find the right location that will meet all of your needs. If you google the words “RV” and “storage”, you may be overwhelmed with all the results. So, how do you know where you should start? Not every situation will be the same, but when we are discussing RV storage, there are a few things you should not forget about when you are looking for the right RV facility for you.

Attain The Peace Of Mind You Need With The Right RV Storage Facility

Covered Storage and Uncovered Storage

The location you choose to store your RV can all depend on a variety of factors, including how long you plan to keep your RV stored and the time of the year. If you plan to keep your RV stored during a time of year when extreme weather takes place, you may want to consider finding a facility that offers enclosed parking. If you only want to store your RV for a brief period of time, you may think about uncovered parking. If you want to protect your RV from being damaged by sunlight, you may want to think about covered parking. Fortunately, there are multiple options on the table.

Security Features

You cannot afford to forget about security features when you are considering RV storage. Your RV is something that has become valuable to you, and you should make sure you store it properly. The storage facility you choose should have the proper security features and security measures. A storage facility that has the proper security measures will be able to protect your RV from being stolen or vandalized.

Storage Capacity

RVs are not the same in size, and this is why it is important to have enough space to store your RV properly. You will need enough room so it will be easier to bring your RV in and exit with your RV. You will also need to have the peace of mind in knowing that your RV will not be in the way of other RVs.

We know that you want to have peace of mind in knowing that your RV is properly stored. When you are ready to have your RV stored in the right place, please do not hesitate to contact us today.

3 Ways your Camper could Benefit from Uncovered Storage

Posted by Party Barn Boat & RV Storage on

If you own a camper, one thing you will eventually have to deal with is what you should do with it during the off season. Uncovered storage space from Party Barn Rentals is an affordable option with numerous benefits, including the following:

3 Ways your Camper could Benefit from Uncovered Storage

#1. It’s Easier to Pull Into

If you have ever been intimidated by the thought of backing into an indoor or covered space, you are not alone. Backing a very large vehicle such as a camper requires a certain skill set that not everyone possesses. This is something you won’t have to worry about as much when parking in an uncovered storage area. That’s because the open feel of an outdoor storage space automatically makes parking more comfortable. Plus, when it comes time to take your camper out again, you won’t have to do quite as much maneuvering.

More Room to Work

You may want to perform repairs or make upgrades to your camper while it is in storage. If so, you’ll appreciate the fact that outdoor storage provides you more room to operate in. Not only that, but you’ll have better lighting in which to complete your work. The additional space will come in extra handy when it comes  time to pressure wash your vehicle or seal up a leaking roof.

#3. Provides Safety and Security

Our facility is fully secured, so you will not have to worry about your camper being broken into. Store it with confidence knowing that your vehicle is far safer with us than it would be in your own driveway. Not only that, but you can free up extra space by not having your RV sitting there.

Our safe, convenient location provides the perfect spot for parking your camper in. If you are looking for an affordable option that will still provide adequate protection, please contact us.

Tips to Prepare Your RV for Storage

Posted by Party Barn Boat & RV Storage on

One of the benefits of living an RV lifestyle is to travel to warmer or cooler climates according to your personal preference. Perhaps you like to seek cooler temperatures when the Texas heat is blazing; or maybe you prefer to travel and explore during winter months when there are fewer vacationers on the road. However, there may be times when your schedule dictates that your travel plans be put on hold. When this is the case, where do you store your RV?

Tips to Prepare Your RV for Storage

Parking an RV in a residential neighborhood is a rarity as there likely is inadequate space for RV storage in the garage, side yard, or behind the house. Additionally, parking an RV in a residential area may be banned by city ordinances due to height restrictions, blocking the sidewalk, potential hazards while backing in/out to park, or exceeding the maximum number of parked vehicles per house.

Party Barn Boat and RV storage offers plenty of space, protection, easy access, and peace of mind to protect and store your RV any time of the year. We have 150 storage spots available. You choose whether your needs require uncovered, covered, or enclosed storage. Our storage property is securely gated and accessed only via security code. We are conveniently located near Lake Lavon and Lake Ray Hubbard, just a short drive from the Dallas suburbs. We offer flexible rental agreements including monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, and yearly to meet your needs.

Before bringing your RV to Party Barn Boat and RV storage, consider these tips when preparing your RV for storage:

  • Clean your RV inside and out to prevent mold and mildew.
  • Ensure all food is removed to avoid attracting unwanted critters.
  • Cover your RV with a breathable cover (or consider enclosed storage to protect from weather and pollen).
  • Cover your tires to reduce UV damage to them.
  • Flush and clean all tanks.
  • Cover the water heater, furnace, and refrigerator vents.
  • Consider adding biocide to the fuel tank to deter algae growth in the fuel.
  • Defrost and dry out the freezer and refrigerator, and place a box of baking soda inside to eliminate odors.

Summer, fall, winter, or spring – contact us today for reservations and storage rates. We have a spot waiting for you!

Servicemember? Here’s when to Consider Long-Term Auto Storage

Posted by Party Barn Boat & RV Storage on

Service members who are deploying overseas have lots to consider before shipping out. One of those things involves what to do with a vehicle while they are gone. Leaving your car with a family member is tempting, but there are times when you should consider long-term storage instead.

Servicemember? Here's when to Consider Long-Term Auto Storage

When you Would Rather not Leave it Unsecured

When parking on the street, you run the risk of someone breaking into  your car. That’s especially true if your automobile stays in one spot too long without moving. Others might notice it sitting in one location and decide that it is fair game for stealing.

Some jurisdictions might consider a vehicle abandoned if it sits in one space for several days. This means you might also have to worry about it being towed without your knowledge.

You Have Relatives who Might Help Themselves

When leaving your car with relatives, you run the risk of them using your auto at random. While it’s good to have someone drive your vehicle occasionally, you probably do not want anyone using it on a regular basis. This is especially true if that individual is not a safe operator or fails to perform regular maintenance. The fact that your automobile is in storage eliminates the possibility of loved ones just helping themselves.

You Want it to be Protected from Weather Damage

Maybe you have an expensive vehicle that needs to be protected from the elements. In that case, keeping it in storage is the right answer. Your car will always be protected regardless of the weather, so you will not have to worry about it deteriorating while you are gone.

Auto storage can provide the military with peace of mind at a time when there is already so much to worry about. To secure your long-term parking spot, please contact us.

A To-Do List Before You Store Your Boat or RV

Posted by Party Barn Boat & RV Storage on

Before you store your boat or RV for the winter season or for a period of time when you’ll be out of town, there are a few important things to do first. Once you have all of these steps taken care of, you can safely store your vehicle without any issue. In this post, we’ll introduce you to a comprehensive to-do list before storing your boat or RV.

A To-Do List Before You Store Your Boat or RV

  1. Make Sure The Vehicle is in Working Order: Before you can store your boat or RV away from a long period of time, you need to first ensure that said vehicle can still operate correctly. The last thing you or a storage facility wants to deal with is a vehicle that breaks down and can’t be moved without a tow. Speaking of a tow, it’s important to confirm that your vehicle can be driven into the storage facility rather than towed. This also ensures that the vehicle is indeed in working order.
  2. Have The Proper Credentials: Don’t show up to the storage facility without first bringing all the proper documentation. You’ll need to present the center with proof of insurance and vehicle registration. You’ll also need to make sure that the vehicle has current, updated license plates and tags that won’t expire during the time the vehicle is being stored.
  3. Run a Quick Inspection: Before storing your vehicle, check the tires to make sure they are inflated. Next, check the gaskets and fuel lines. It’s also a good idea to get as much gasoline out of the tank as possible before storing the vehicle for a long period of time. You can also ask the storage facility if additional security measures can be put in place, such as tie downs and tire locks.

Camper Storage: Why It’s Preferred Over Parking in Your Yard

Posted by Party Barn Boat & RV Storage on

If you own a camper, you may think it’s okay to park it in your yard between uses. However, dedicated space from Party Barn Boat and RV Storage is a better solution for a number of reasons, a few of which are listed below.

Camper Storage: Why It's Preferred Over Parking in Your Yard

#1. It protects your camper from storm damage

During a storm, your vehicle is virtually unprotected if sitting out in the open. As such, you could easily sustain damage from falling limbs, hail, and flying debris. Our covered spaces will keep your camper safe regardless of the weather conditions outside.

#2. Keeps people from breaking in or vandalizing your camper

A recreational vehicle can often be an attractive nuisance to passersby. Leave your camper sitting for too long, and it is likely to get broken into or even vandalized. That won’t be a problem when it’s parked inside our secure facility. Our property is surrounded by solid fencing and an electronic gate that only those with approved access can open.

#3. It frees up space in your yard

A camper can take up quite a bit of space in your yard, leaving you with little room left to enjoy. It can also make mowing and other yard chores more cumbersome. Not only that, but having an extra vehicle sitting in one spot for months or weeks on end can sometimes become an eyesore. When you rent storage from us, your camper will be tucked neatly out of sight, yet close enough for you to easily access whenever you’d like to use it.

#4. You can maintain compliance with local ordinances

Many locations have ordinances against parking recreational vehicles in your yard. You could be faced with a huge fine for failing to comply, and in some cases the charge might come out to more than what the cost of storage would be.

These are just a few reasons why you should stop parking that RV in your yard and store it safely with us. To find the storage spot that is just right for you, please contact us.
