Loveland, CO, serves as a gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park, and naturally, it attracts a significant amount of RV tourism. Loveland itself is home to many different RV parks and hosts the Mountain West Overland Expo. Loveland's natural beauty, paired with its convenient location, makes it a great place to go RVing - and if you have a recreational vehicle, you'll need RV Storage.

Before you rush to rent a storage space, though, read through our handy guide on choosing the best RV storage in the Loveland area.


Why choose RV storage?

Your RV is a substantial investment, and you want to protect it. One of the best ways to ensure your RV is safe is by renting a self-storage unit or secure parking space. Some of the top reasons to rent storage in Loveland, CO, include:

  • Clearing space in your driveway or garage
  • Upholding HOA restrictions, city regulations, and code
  • Protection from the sun: Colorado averages 300+ days of sun a year. Loveland sits at an elevation of 5,000 feet, and the UV rays are very intense. The sun can fade and crack an RV's paint, as well as deteriorate the roof membrane. The sun can also dry out window and vent seals, as well as tires
  • Protection from snow and ice during the winter, which can cause leaks, water damage, and freeze damage
  • Protection from hailstorms, as Northern Colorado is part of "hail alley"
  • Enhanced security to protect your vehicle from theft: a fenced facility, gated access, and 24-hour video surveillance

Tips for Choosing the Right RV Solution

There are a few key things to do when you are choosing your ideal RV storage solution. You should always:

  1. Measure your RV, including attachments (ladders, air conditioners, hitches, etc.)
  2. Measure the height of your RV. Some indoor units or covered spaces have a max height requirement of 12-14 feet.
  3. Take maneuvering room into consideration, especially if you have a longer rig.
  4. Determine your need for climate-controlled storage. There are several RVs that we recommend storing in climate-controlled storage.
    • Luxury Class A RVs with high-end electronics, leather seats, and hardwood cabinetry. If your RV contains any materials that are prone to warping, cracking, or degrading in the elements, climate control is your best option
    • Vintage RVs that were delicately constructed
    • RVs with elaborate plumbing systems. You do not want your plumbing to freeze in the winter or become moldy in the summer
    • RVs that are going to be stored for more than 6+ months

Preparing Your RV for Storage

Before storing your RV, take the time to properly prepare your vehicle. This will help protect your investment and ensure everything's in top shape for next season.

  1. Clean and Inspect Your Vehicle: Ensure the exterior is clean, the interior is tidy, and the seals, roof, and tires are inspected for any damage. Now is the time to find damage and have it repaired.
  2. Protect Against Pests: Remove all food and perishable items, and seal the vents, windows, and the chimney. If necessary, use rodent deterrents. We prefer dryer sheets and peppermint oil.
  3. Maintain Your Mechanical System: Ensure that you top off fluids, including oil, antifreeze, and brake fluid. Also, disconnect your battery or use a trickle charger. It's best to fill the gas tank and add a stabilizer. This will help prevent fuel breakdown.
  4. Cover and Secure: IF you're storing your RV outdoors, use a breathable RV cover. Inflate your tires to the recommended PSI. Lastly, engage your parking brake. Many RVers also use wheel chocks.
