Factors to Consider for RV and Boat Storage with Tellus Self Storage
Introduction
Owning an RV or boat opens up a world of travel and adventure—but when it's time to store them, where and how you store these high-value assets matters. At Tellus Self Storage, we understand that RV and boat owners need more than just space—they need sheltered, convenience, and peace of mind. Whether you’re storing your RV during the offseason or keeping your boat protected between trips to the water, here are the top factors to consider when choosing RV and boat storage.
1. Security Features
When storing something as valuable as a boat or RV, having it sheltered is non-negotiable. At Tellus Self Storage, we offer:
- 24/7 DVR moitoring
- Gated access with keypad entry
- Well-lit facilities
- On-site management at select locations
These features help deter theft and vandalism, giving you confidence that your investment is in good hands.
2. Size & Accessibility of the Storage Space
Boats and RVs come in all shapes and sizes, so your storage unit—or outdoor space—must be a perfect fit. At Tellus, our facilities offer:
- Oversized outdoor parking spaces
- Wide driveways for easy maneuvering
- Drive-up access for loading/unloading gear
Make sure you measure your vehicle (including any attachments like ladders or antennas) to select the right-sized space.
3. Indoor vs. Outdoor Storage
Not all storage options are created equal. Depending on your needs and budget, you may choose between:
- Outdoor Storage: Ideal for short-term or cost-effective storage.
- Covered Storage: Protects against sun, rain, and debris.
- Enclosed Units (at select locations): Maximum protection from the elements.
For boats or RVs with delicate paint or expensive components, covered or enclosed storage is worth the added investment.
4. Climate Conditions
In regions with extreme weather (heat, humidity, or cold), exposure can damage your RV or boat over time. While boats and RVs are built for the outdoors, long-term exposure without use or maintenance can cause:
- Cracked upholstery
- Faded paint
- Battery drain
- Mold or mildew growth
Ask if your local Tellus facility offers climate-controlled options for accessories, parts, or valuable gear stored separately.
5. Location & Convenience
When choosing a facility, proximity matters—especially if you plan frequent trips. Tellus Self Storage has convenient locations throughout the Southeast and Texas, many of which are:
- Near major highways and interstates
- Close to lakes, rivers, or campgrounds
- Easy to access even with large vehicles
Look for a location that’s close to your home, marina, or usual travel route for ultimate convenience.
6. Availability of Amenities
A great RV or boat storage experience goes beyond the parking space. Look for facilities that offer:
- Dump stations (for RV users)
- Charging stations or battery maintenance access
- Wash bays or water hookups
- Extended or 24-hour access
At Tellus, we strive to offer amenities that make it easier to prep or maintain your vehicle between uses.
7. Pricing and Lease Flexibility
Storage shouldn't break the bank. At Tellus, we offer:
- Competitive monthly rates
- No long-term contracts required
- Online bill pay and account management
- Promotions like first month free at select locations
Compare prices between indoor and outdoor options, and always factor in seasonal discounts or availability when choosing a lease term.
8. Customer Service & Facility Reputation
Last but not least, choose a facility with a reputation you can trust. Read reviews, visit the facility in person, and talk with staff to ensure:
- Friendly, knowledgeable customer support
- Transparent pricing and policies
- Clean, well-maintained grounds
Tellus Self Storage is known for its exceptional customer service, clean facilities, and dedication to perserving your belongings—making us a top choice for RV and boat owners across the Southeast.
