Living on the road in an RV is an amazing lifestyle for many people, but all enthusiasts occasionally need to store their RVs for a little while. Having worked with RV owners for years, the storage professionals at Windmill Storage and Business Park, located in Columbia Falls, MT, know what to look for in RV storage facilities.

Here are three things to look for in an RV storage facility:

Security: When it’s time to store your RV for a few weeks or months, security is a primary concern. After all, you’ve made a substantial investment in your RV, so you don’t want to leave it someplace where it can be broken into or damaged. To help prevent random acts of vandalism, look for a secure, fenced-in storage area with adequate lighting that can only be accessed using a key or pass code. Many storage facilities also have 24-hour video surveillance to help ensure your RV is being watched at all times.

Weather Protection: Depending on how much money you want to spend to protect your RV from weather damage during the off-season, many storage facilities offer three options. The least-expensive parking spaces are uncovered and located outdoors. For a little more money, covered parking spaces are available to protect your RV from the sun and adverse weather conditions. Then, there are enclosed parking spaces, sometimes in climate-controlled storage buildings, providing maximum protection against the elements and allowing you to lock your unit.

Access: You never know when you may need to access your RV, so make sure you select a storage facility with access all seven days of the week.
